Are You Ready For Halloween?

October has arrived, and so has another ready-to-ship flash sale!
This Saturday, Oct. 5 at 11am PDT, I’ll have a set of these Ellette wings in the Water Lily colorway with gold veins. I love this color palette too much to stop.

Previously I'd only made these as an extra large size. The other difference is that I'm back to using the old gold powder coating whereas the extra large wings had a different gold I was trying out that wasn't quite as shiny.
The painted vinyl layer has been laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film, which to my eye makes them look like the sun setting on a water lily pond when you can see both front and back of the wings. They will be $490 plus shipping.

Next are the Cosette wings from the Pixish Collection, in Autumn Night film with silver chrome veins.

Front view of a dress form wearing a white & green corset and large oil slick colored iridescent fairy wings with antennae on top, 3 panels each side, upper panels come to a point, bottom panels have tails, spikey, detailed silver veins

These are an imperfect set, the left upper panel has a an area along the bottom part that is missing the additional clear vinyl layer, which is only visible as a very faint diagonal edge or line. The closeup shows what I'm talking about.
It was too hot, which makes me wilt, and I messed up & placed that panel on the part of the film that didn't have the clear vinyl covering it. The silver vinyl veins are also slightly wider than the metal veins in some areas of the upper panels. But, I'd rather discount them than do them all over and waste all that material so they'll be marked down to $510 from $570.

I'll have a set of Aphrodite wings in Opal with gold veins, Fauna in Blush with gold veins, Titania in Ultraviolet with gold veins, and one or two others that I'll have to update you about in the next day or two.

I have also discounted my fairy wing overlays even further in my Patreon Shop to only $3 each - and remember, the Extra Fancy $4 tier will get ALL of the overlay packs with a subscription! This is available to customers in the EU as well, which I couldn't offer on my site anymore due to the VAT and paperwork that would require.

I also want to say my thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating hurricane & floods in the south east. Here in California, we just reached 1 million acres burned this year due to wildfires and I hate to think of what new hell climate change will throw us next.

I'm also still struggling to go on about my life as if all is normal, while Israel invades yet another country, killing even more civilians, and our administration keeps sending them more weapons to do it with. The knowledge that the country I live in is funding all this death makes it really hard to keep producing pretty things and being creative, it feels so upside-down but it's also how I pay rent so I'm trying.
Take care of yourselves and each other <3

Silver Veined Fayette 'Water Lily' Fairy Wings & More, Ready to Ship

I'm having a very small sale this Saturday, Sept 21 at 11 am Pacific Daylight Time and these Fayette fairy wings in the Water Lily colorway will be available ready-to-ship, this time with silver veins.

Large 'Fayette' large iridescent blue and green fairy wings with 3 panels on each side, pink dots near the upper panel tips, & silver veins, worn on a dress form, front view

I'm having a batch of wing frames powder coated in gold, but there was a delay in the shipment of the powder so this will be a smaller sale than I originally intended and I'll have some gold veined wings in the next one.
I’ll have a repeat set of the Nightshade wings in Blush, and a repeat set of the painted Fayette wings in Poison Plum with black veins. I was trying to squeeze in another set of wings, Cosette with silver veins, but not sure I’ll have them done in time, I may have to wait for the next sale to list them.

Fairy Wing Overlays
I've also added all my digital overlays to my Patreon shop!
Now anyone can purchase them without a monthly subscription here: https://www.patreon.com/faeryangela/shop

People living in the EU can now purchase them again, since Patreon is handling all the taxes for me, which was the reason I had to pull them from my website. I simply don't have the spoons to fill out tax forms for overseas purchases of products under $10.

I've also discounted them, AND, if you're subscribed to the $4 Extra Fancy tier or higher you will actually get ALL of the overlay sets. How's that for a good deal?
I know Etsy and other marketplaces are over saturated now with AI generated overlays being sold for dirt cheap, but you can rest assured these are all my original designs and made from my photos and graphics.

My wing overlays also come with various poses unlike the AI generated ones you might see, which are almost always going to be flat front view wings. But models are photographed (or painted) from many different angles and you'll need wings at various angles to look realistic.
One thing that drives me nuts about generated images - which is also a pretty good tell that it's generated - is having a fairy turned to the side but their wings are completely flat & not following their body position.

Make sure to read the Terms of Use included with the overlays, this is important! 
It's a restricted license, so there will be some things you need to do, and some things you must not do with them. The Terms of Use is inside the folder with the overlays, make sure you keep them together in case you need to refer back to it.

I also had made a mistake in the Terms of Use for the oldest overlays sold on my website the last few years, they did not get updated with the new copy that was included with the Clarion and Luna Moth overlays specifying credit required in caption text and other details. This info was in all the listings descriptions, but should have been in the text file included with purchase. I’ve updated them all and if you’d purchased overlays in the past you should have gotten an email with an updated link by now. Check your spam folders if you haven’t seen it yet.

I’ll eventually discount the overlays on my website as well since I can’t compete with the pricing of all those AI overlays, but in the meantime feel free to spread the word and share my Patreon Shop link with friends in need of digital wings.

Remember, the sale won't start and the listings won't show up until tomorrow, Saturday Sept. 21 at 11 am PDT here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Thank you for all your support, and have a fairy-tastic weekend!

Moth Berries and Dark Crystals

I’m having a ready-to-ship fairy wing flash sale Tuesday 9/3/24 at 6pm PDT, plus made-to-order Giant Pansy Gwen wings!

Large wine & purple iridescent fairy wings with downward curved tips, antennae and appendages, worn on a dress form

I will have one set of the above Fauna fairy wings in the ‘Moth Berry’ color scheme with burgundy wine, magenta, purple and dark brown accents laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film, with black veins. They will be $490 plus shipping.

Large purple & blue iridescent fairy wings with elongated slightly downward curved tips on upper panels, and small tail that swoops up from bottom panels, worn on a dress form

I’ll also have a set of the classic Titania fairy wings in Dark Crystal with black veins as shown above. Those will be $195 plus shipping.

If I have enough vinyl on hand I'm planning on also offering a repeat set of the Fayette wings in Water Lily, which were worn fabulously by this customer whose photo he kindly allowed me to share on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-Wq1dRxrXQ/?img_index=1

And maybe a set of Nightshade wings with silver veins if possible but I'm not positive those will make it.

I have also now discounted the ready-to-ship Giant Pansy Gwen wings to $549, and also added a listing for those giant Pansy Gwen wings made-to-order, available now!

Giants and Starry Nights

I’m having a ready-to-ship flash sale this Saturday at 11am PDT so get ready!

Giant iridescent butterfly shaped fairy wings with curving tails on the bottom, worn on a dress form

This Saturday, Aug. 24 at 11am PDT, I'll be having a small ready-to-ship sale which will include these giant Pansy / Guinevere fairy wings in clear Diamond Fire with black veins, and a set of Aynia wings (below) painted in the Van Gogh Starry Night style but this time they're standard large instead of extra large. The vinyl print of the painting is laminated onto clear Diamond Fire and they have black veins. I'll be getting a batch of wings powder coated in gold next and am thinking of making another set with gold veins, what do you think?

I'm also considering offering the next set of the giant Pansy / Guinevere wings with the tails cut off if you'd prefer them that way, if so you can message me about a special order for them as I have another couple frame sets and they'll all be at that discounted price, but after this batch if I make them again they will NOT be priced this low.

The giant Pansy Guinevere wings will be $569, and the Aynia wings will be $490, shipping is additional.

I'll also have some repeats, a set of Aphrodite wings in clear Blush, Fauna wings in Dark Crystal, and Titania wings in clear Diamond Fire, all with black veins.

Additional Wings for August 1st

Alright fairies, here are 2 additional sets of wings that will be listing in the sale tomorrow, August 1 at 8pm PDT.

Subtly iridescent fairy wings in earth tones with lots of detailed copper veins, worn on a dress form, front view

The first set is the Colette design, painted in earthy tones with bits of blue and purple, laminated on the Patina Green film with copper veins. This is the first time I'm making these with copper veins, and the thinner painted veins don't match the actual veins 100% because with the reflectiveness of the copper it looks like a different shade depending on your angle and lighting. But I think they turned out neat regardless. They will be $499.

Next are the Cosette wings.

Large spikey iridescent purple & blue fairy wings with black veins and antennae, worn on a dress form, front view

This time I laminated them in the Dark Crystal film and without the usual additional layer of vinyl veins so I could price it more affordably at $399 rather than almost $600. I also put some tatters & holes in these, they'd be perfect for an unseelie fairy or for a goth look.

I'll also have a listing for a repeat set of Datura wings with silver veins, also in Dark Crystal.

Please see the previous post for photos of the Fayette wings that will be available.

Remember that the listings won’t show up until the start time at this link:

Ready To Ship Wing Sale Thursday 8/1 at 8pm PDT

I’m having a small ready-to-ship fairy wing sale this Thursday, Aug. 1 at 8pm PDT, and these Fayette wings in Rose Gold are the first ones completed.

Large rose gold iridescent fairy wings with pointed tips & silver veins worn on a dress form with a white & green corset, front view

This is the first time I’ve made this design with silver veins, but as before, there is a vinyl vein layer for the thinnest veins in addition to the aluminum vein frame for lots of detail.
I’ve also become a fan of this color combo, previously thinking that silver and the warm peachy rose gold wouldn’t go together but I was wrong!
The contrast really brings the veins’ detail out.
This silver vinyl is very shiny, and wrinkles just a tad more than the other type that is more dull but I feel like the trade-off is worth it.

I’ll be either updating this post with photos of a couple other wing sets I’ll be listing or make a whole new post for those within the next couple days.

Remember, these will list on Thursday August 1 at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time at this link:

All New Colorways in 6 Sets of Fairy Wings

All wings below are ready to ship and will be listing Sunday July 14 at 7pm PDT!

First are these Datura wings painted in a ‘Mauve Plum’ colorway on Opal film with copper veins

Large mauve, plum and blue iridescent fairy wings with antennae, copper veins, worn with a purple bodice on a dress form

They will be $495 plus shipping. I forgot to take a photo of the wings in the resting position but they are definitely convertible and I’ll even throw in the little flowers this time.

Next, the Titania fairy wings in one of its most popular forms (they'll all be convertible now) a replica of the painting I've done only a couple times, the photos of which have gone viral but usually without credit to me. It's a really simple paint scheme with brown accents and a soft sage green on the edges, laminated onto the Rose Gold film. I had called it the 'Vrie' paint scheme, because that's the name of the person who first got them but I'm wondering if I should call them something different?
Anyway, I'll have 2 sets of those, and they will be $399 each.

Large coppery iridescent fairy wings with brown and green accents, copper veins, worn with a white & sage green bodice on a dress form

There will also be a couple of un-painted Titania wings for $195 each. One is done in Opal film with gold veins…

Large blue green iridescent fairy wings with gold veins worn with a white & sage green bodice on a dress form

There will also be a set of Titania wings in Ultraviolet with gold veins, for $195

Large violet iridescent fairy wings with gold veins worn with a purple bodice on a dress form

Finally I’ll have a set of Goblin Princess wings, also in the Ultraviolet, with copper veins for $299

Large blue green iridescent fairy wings with copper veins worn with an alabaster corset on a dress form

*Below are some affiliate links from Amazon, for which I receive a small commission if you purchase something from my link at no extra cost to you.

I still plan on making a more detailed post or video showing off the bodices above being worn by me with a rundown on how they fit, etc. But for now I'll say I really like that the backs on these are a bit higher, so the wings sit up higher between the shoulder blades and it makes them more visible. That also helped get them out of range of our portable AC while I was taking photos, ha!
I used to think a slightly lower placement was best but I've changed my mind.

The first one with a purple-ish sort of tapestry fabric is a size large, and I probably could've gone with an extra large but I figured I'd keep it in case my weight fluctuates down and a larger size might not fit my dressform as well. It's no Red Threaded corset of course, which I dream of someday when my budget allows, but I was in need of new costuming, especially for casual fairy looks. The boning is plastic, but, there's plenty of it so the support is pretty decent I think for a non-historical casual ren faire outfit. It has a zipper on the side so it's easy to get out of and has a modesty panel as well.
My bust is 38 and a half inches, waist is 33 if I don't suck it in, and this works if it's cinched a couple inches although I do wish the straps were longer.
There's a lot of colors to choose from and I'll probably go back for another eventually!
If you want one, you can get it here: https://amzn.to/465h6Ds

The other one is the Scarlet Darkness brand, and to be honest, I got it and some other items as compensation for them using a couple of my wings photos in their ads without permission. Then I found another ad using that SAME design with some changes which was kind of insulting, but at least they aren't selling copies of the actual wings and to be fair, at least a lot of the wing in the new ads are obscured so I don't know what to say. I'm still going to wear them, still will post about them but I'm also going to share the copyright issue when I do.
I was happy with their bodices - if they were historically accurate they'd be called stays - again they have plastic boning but there's a lot of it so it's decently supportive. Those are more true to size, and with those I probably could've gone down a size because I can almost close the lacing gap completely and with these bodices you don't really want it to fit on you like other items of clothing. You want it to squish you at least a little to look right. I got the one Amazon calls 'Green Floral' but the Scarlet Darkness site calls it Light Green. Note that if you get it from Scarlet Darkness it will likely ship from China and take a bit longer. There's a good selection of colors but I really wish they had one in purple!
You can get them here: https://amzn.to/3S53P89

That's it for tonight, and again the sale will be Sunday July 14 at 7pm Pacific, so you won't miss House of the Dragon ;)

Made to Order Fairy Wings Sale Monday July 1 at 8pm

I’m having a small MTO wing sale tomorrow!

Large purple / blue iridescent fairy wings with antennae along the top, with silver veins, worn on a dressform

Since I only have one wing box left for the painted Pansy wings (still available ready-to-ship btw!) and I won't get more in till later next week, I'm having a made-to-order wing sale.

The Datura wings (shown above in Dark Crystal with silver veins) will be available with silver veins and your choice of film color for $329 plus shipping, the Pansy wings in your color choice also with silver veins will be $300 plus shipping, and there will also be a set of Cosette wings in your color choice with black veins for $590 plus shipping.

You can choose an upgrade to make the Datura or Pansy painted for an additional fee, total before shipping would be $500 each so you'd pay the difference before they ship. Please choose 2 main colors for a simple painting (color fade from base or edges, or a gradient of the colors, an 'eye' spot can be added) or a repeat painted pattern that can be in a new colorway. When it comes to wing painting, it works best when I'm allowed creative license with some freedom in how I put the colors together.

So again, this made-to-order sale will be this Monday July 1 at 8pm Pacific Time on my Flash Sale page here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Remember they won't show up until the start time.
I hope you all are having a fairy-tastic weekend!
