For the Fayette wings, I'll be offering either the single film color OR painted for the same price because with the single color film wings the extra time & materials goes into the extra vinyl layer I apply to them, so they amount to about the same cost. They’ll be $600, and even though they’re larger than most of the standard large wings they will still work with the flapping mechanisms as well, but the extra large Ellette wings will not at this time.
Remember, the listings won’t show up until the start time at this link: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales
I may have yet another small sale with MTO listings, as I am still recovering financially from a tough couple of years and it's easier to pay the materials costs that way. I'll still never go back to unlimited MTO listings like I used to though and will still be making ready-to-ship wings. I just had not been very inspired lately to be honest.
Getting more personal with you all, this lack of inspo has been largely due to a deep depression that was largely triggered by a falling out in some close life-long relationships due to divisiveness about covid safety, which was compounded by other relational traumas over the course of my life.
Although I won't get into all the details, I got some information finally that helps things at least make a bit more sense especially regarding being misunderstood by neurotypical people and vice-versa.
I got the confirmation that I'm in fact autistic, in addition to having ADHD. I've strongly suspected, and would post here and there in my IG Stories about this suspicion, but it really makes a difference to have a professional confirm it. I definitely believe that self-diagnosis is valid, but I also stubbornly really wanted some confirmation outside of myself - which itself is a pretty autistic trait, needing a verified correct answer.
Although it doesn't fix everything, it is a weight lifted off my shoulders in a way, and my life makes more sense.
It changes how my depression, anxiety and CPTSD are approached, as some of my struggle might just be autistic burnout. Maybe some of it is disillusionment of reality, & the pandemic really brought that home in a bad way.
I really hope I can make more forward progress with this information now because I've still got so many projects and ideas I have yet to produce!
Last, speaking of the pandemic, I hope you'll consider masking again with N95s if you've stopped because covid is surging again & most people's immunity is practically gone. With the amount of bad news coming out about what it can do to our bodies even 2 years down the road, I think it's worthwhile to remain cautious at least until we get much better vaccines in us.
Have a great weekend and be safe <3
