This is as far as I got. I had steps beyond #9 for The Covering, but those didn’t work out, so I removed them. If either of you (or anyone else) has close-up pictures of your fan-building process, or pictures of completed fans, I would love to see them. I’ve hunted through the internet, and you’d [...]
