Flapping Wing Mechanisms in New Color!

Just 2 flapping fairy wing mechanisms will be available tonight, Monday June 19 at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time and a new color is introduced - Burnt Titanium!

Flapping wing mechanism in Burnt Titanium, white backdrop in full sunlight

Burnt Titanium, shown in the first 2 photos, is like a black with a blue and purple sheen & satin finish. 1st photo was taken in direct sunlight, the 2nd in indirect natural light. Reminds me of raven feathers.

The other mechanism is matte lavender with a black backing. Both are the raw printed finishes, neither have been painted.

I may post video of the burnt titanium color before Monday night so you can see the color shift.

Please keep in mind that these flapping mechanisms are made to work with the wing panels I make, which weigh only up to 3-4 ounces on each side. If you're making your own wings to go with them, you'll need to make sure they don't weigh more and would have to configure your own attachment method.

They'll be available ready-to-ship on Monday 6/19 at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time in my shop here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Fairy Wings and Flapping Mechanisms Sale Saturday Nov. 5 at 12pm PDT

Tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 5 at 12pm Pacific Time there will be a handful of both wings and flapping mechanisms! One of the wings with new colorways is the Aphrodite in Ultraviolet with black veins, now convertible too. They will be $359 plus shipping.

The next new set are the Ellette fairy wings, laminated in iridescent Absinthe with black veining. One of the panels got a tiny glitter particle stuck in the film, you’d have to look very close to see it but I’ll be taking $10 off the usual price for it, they will be $255 since the Absinthe film is a premium film. Closeup in the images below.

The 3rd new set is the Datura design, laminated in the premium clear iridescent Opal film with double-coated candy coat gold veining. There will be 2 sets of these for $289. I think this color combo is especially ethereal!

Now for the flapping mechanisms! These are all new colors / combos with all but one in some sort of metallic or color shift paint finish!
These are all sold separately, the wings listings are only for wings and the flapping mechanisms are also listed separately, you’d have to purchase each individually to make a whole set of flapping wings.
A reminder that the mechanisms are made to be used with the convertible wing panels I make, in the standard large sizes - and the Aphrodite wings should work too, as those aren’t a true extra large size like other designs I’ve sold before.


The flapping mechanisms from left to right are:
Dark purple / green color shift with black back plate
Magenta & purple gradient with a light purple / green color shift and black back plate
Plain purple with black back plate
Teal with purple color shift and black back plate

The painted color shift mechanisms will be $475 plus shipping, the plain purple one will be the usual $375 plus shipping.

Remember, the listings won’t show up until the start time. Here’s a handy link to the flash sale page: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Flapping Wing Mechanism Sale Tomorrow, Sunday Oct 2 at 1pm Pacific Time

We’ll have at least 4 mechanisms on Sunday Oct 2 at 1pm PDT, with one specially painted in a blue / purple color shift!

Wing flapping mechanism painted in sparkly purple with blue highlight color shift against a white background

The back plate is printed in the black PLA color. It does have a small scratch on the lower left side, as you can see below.

I'm still working on finishing orders from the previous MTO listings so I can get to making more wings for sale, and in the meantime Jordan's shoulder is finally feeling better so he put some flapping mechanisms together to list.
We'll take the scratch into consideration in the pricing, it will be around $450, a little more than the others due to the extra time it took to sand and paint.
There will also be an olive green, pink, and pastel green mechanism.

Just to remind everyone, we haven't licensed anyone and don't sell these mechanisms - or my wings - wholesale to other stores. Jordan makes the mechanisms and I make the wings here in the US.
Since I can't house a giant waterjet machine in the second bedroom of the 2nd floor condo we're renting, I have a local vendor cut the frames for me from my files I make in Illustrator.
I drive there to pick them up, sand them all by hand, and then take the frames to get powder coated locally as well.
After that, it's all me for the rest of the fabrication.

I'm the only seller who should be listing my designs.
I'm still trying to get counterfeits removed from AliExpress, if you see them please use their report tool if possible and don't buy them. It won't look like the photo, it won't be good quality. I've even come across Etsy sellers now that seem to be drop shipping the knock-offs and they're hitting me with false counter notices that I'll have to file a CCB misrepresentation claim for to fight it.

I appreciate all of you who buy the real thing 💜

The mechanisms will be listed this Sunday, October 2 at 1pm Pacific daylight time, they won’t show up before the start time. You can view one of the previously listed mechanisms here for more info on them:

Flapping Fairy Wing Mechanism Flash Sale Saturday 3/5/22 at 11am PST

Ready to get flapping? Well we’re adding a few new colors in this sale!

There will be one set of Sakura Pink (a peachy-pink), Pastel Green, and Plum, which is similar to the previous lavender but is a bit more red.
Jordan made more sets in the previous colors too, so there will also be one in Olive Green, Sky Blue and Lavender.

I also am going to offer whoever purchases a wing flapping mechanism the opportunity to special order a set of standard large size wings, so if you haven't nabbed a set of mine yet and really want a flapping wing set this will be your chance.
Pricing on the wings will vary depending on whether it's a style I already have cut, starting at $365 and going up depending on availability and whether you want painting. Simply email me after your purchase with your name and the mechanism color you bought to discuss your desired wings and coloring.
Wing designs will be limited to the Ethereal Collection wings.

Remember, the listings won’t show up in my shop until 11am on Saturday March 5 at 11am PST at this link:

Another Flapping Fairy Wing Mechanism Listing! Tomorrow, 8am PST

That’s right, we’ll have another set of each of the flapping wing mechanisms listed last time, no assembly required!

One of each of the above colors will be available, in Sky Blue, Olive Green and Lavender.

We were initially worried about the slow response when we first released the kits that required assembly, however the first batch of fully assembled mechanisms sold within 1 minute of listing!
So going forward I’ll be offering the flapping mechanisms without assembly required - except to attach your wing panels.
Only my standard size Ethereal Collection convertible wings are guaranteed to work with them at this time, though you’re welcome to try to figure out your own attachment of older wing versions and we may come out with additional shaft attachments in the future.

So far there is just one speed, though we may come out with more in the future.

The on / off switch is on the power pack that’s connected by a cable to the mechanism so you’ll need a pocket or pouch somewhere to hold it.

They are all printed out of PLA, which can be sanded, primed and painted. Super glues should work well if you want to attach decorative elements to the cover.

Jordan put a lot of effort into engineering these and this would not have been possible without the bit of extra financial support from my patrons. Especially the last couple years during which the pandemic has made life even more of a struggle in so many ways.
Patreon patrons get the earliest news about new items & flash sales, as well as occasional tutorials, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks and digital downloads.
I hope to offer more, if life could get a bit less stressful and this pandemic could ease up.
