Alexis Noriega is a self-taught costume maker who turned her love of cosplay and fantasy into a full time job making mechanical wings. Her top clients are artists and enthusiasts who pay upwards of $4,000 for her life-sized wings. Creating the lifelike contraptions takes a lot of time and even more patience, but the result is well worth the effort.
