3 Wings from Older Editions Get an Upgrade, Available Tonight at 8!

November 18, 2018 Angela Jarman

Goblin Princess 2.0 in Rose Gold with Chameleon Veins

3 older wing styles have been upgraded to convertibles! Above are the Goblin Princess fairy wings in Rose Gold with Chameleon Cherry Violet Veining, the upper Goblin panels have been narrowed a bit so the wingspan is not quite as wide, and paired with the Salome bottom panels as convertible panels like all of the 2018 Ethereal Collection. More views of these below.

Next, another Hybrid - the Serena wings paired with the Guinevere bottom panels. I’m going to call this combo ‘Serenity Queen’ fairy wings, these are done in Patina Green also with the Chameleon Cherry Violet veins. I made these into convertible wings by cutting off the ‘legs’ of the wing panels and drilling holes to match with the ones in the new braces. So the connectors won’t look as round and pretty, but hey, convertible wings! These are both the original sizes.

Last but not least, the Ellette fairy wings in Ultraviolet, also with Chameleon Cherry Violet veining, and upgraded to convertible wings. The bottom panels have been shrunk just a little because I liked the silhouette a bit better that way.

I wish I could have had more for you, but the fires and the unhealthy air situation here has put a wrench in my plans along with many others, and definitely has me thinking about how we should all be more prepared for emergencies. A second air purifier is on the way so we will at least have 2 rooms in our place that are safe besides only one, and as soon as they are back in stock I’m buying MERV 13 rated air filters for our heater vent, maybe a handful if I can because unfortunately this may be a pattern every year and I don’t want to keep getting stuck when these things sell out due to demand in a disaster event.
They say the air might be clear in another week, let’s hope they are right so I can sand more frames to get powder coated.
So that’s it, these 3 wings plus the very fancy embellished Datura Celestial wings will be for sale tonight at 8pm PST, roughly an hour and a half from now.

Datura Celestial Fairy Wings with Oil Slick Metal Leaf and Chameleon Veins

November 14, 2018 Angela Jarman

Sale this Sunday 11/18 at 8pm PST!

I’ve done a set of celestial themed Datura wings before, and this is a similar set but a bit darker and more unseelie with the Chameleon Cherry Violet veins and a new oil slick metal leaf embellishment on the tips with Swarovski crystal accents. This set uses the same painted pattern, but has been laminated instead on the Aquamarine film which is more transparent and reflects blue/green.
These will be discounted slightly as I accidentally scratched a small area of the film while applying the painted layer. It's on the back and not very noticeable, and I'll include some transparent Swarovski crystals so you can add them if you like and maybe can camouflage the scratch a bit. It’s not very noticeable but it’s only fair. Last photo is a close up of the area. There will be more wings added in the next few days as I finish them. I had planned this sale originally to be last week but the fires have affected our air quality pretty badly and I’ve been on the hunt for more permanent pollution masks and air purifiers, as locally so much is out of stock and it’s definitely affected our health, and our mood to have to be trapped indoors or masked up :/

You Don't Have to be an Angel to Wear My Wings

I was thrilled to have my wings on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway in the past, but equally disappointed to hear Ed Razek’s insulting comments about trans and plus sized models today.
It hasn’t even been the first time I’ve been disappointed by the brand, there have been more than one instance of cultural appropriation, with the Native American headdress worn by a white, blonde model being the one of the cringiest.
I had hoped they’d learned and grown since then, but although they have made some progressive moves along the way this latest controversy is too much for me to ignore.

Ed Razek, in an interview a few days ago with Vogue, was quoted saying:
”It’s like, why doesn’t your show do this? Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us. And they carp at us because we’re the leader. They don’t talk about each other. I accept that. I actually respect it. Cool. But we’re nobody’s third love. (Note: ThirdLove is a competitor that has received investment from a former CEO of Victoria’s Secret stores.) We’re their first love. And Victoria’s Secret has been women’s first love from the beginning.”

The article in question is here: https://www.vogue.com/article/victorias-secret-ed-razek-monica-mitro-interview

He has apparently apologized for the remarks since, saying he hopes that a trans model eventually does get hired to walk down the runway. However, isn’t he the guy in charge of who gets into the show?

Many in and outside of the industry aren’t buying the apology, and I have to say it does come across as just PR damage control whereas the comments to Vogue sounded like a pretty clear statement that he doesn’t want to hire trans or plus size models because that is not his fantasy. Perhaps he assumes they aren’t anyone else’s either if they aren’t his, but isn’t the goal of the show to sell underwear to women of all shapes and sizes in the end? Did he not consider he already has trans and plus size customers, that they are in fact a part of his market?
Or at least, they were…
To many, the apology isn’t enough especially in a time when our current White House administration is seeking to erase trans and intersex people from existence, declaring only the genitals we were born with can determine our gender.
What they don’t get is that there are as many people born intersex as there are red haired and green eyed people. A larger percentage may seem to have a clear sex at birth but don’t identify with it at all. Even the science doesn’t support transphobia. Trans gender and intersex people DO exist and they did not choose their gender in the way you would choose a hair cut or even a nose job. It’s who they ARE. And they already face some of the worst and humiliating discrimination and hate crimes our society has to offer. Most especially if you’re a black trans woman.

If after learning this, you are looking for a new under things source, Teen Vogue has stepped up with a list here.
Now I know I’m not a high profile, big name designer with a team and a runway show during fashion week, and so I don’t know who would really care whether or not I work with VS again. They might not even have anymore need of my services. The experience that I had in 2014 and 2015 was a positive one, they paid what I asked without hassle like anyone else, and the individuals I was in contact with were easy to work with. I also don’t begrudge the individual models or the many different artists, like me, that they hire to create wearable art for the show. We definitely don’t fit the demographic that the models do and are a diverse bunch ourselves.
However, if I were asked again today to provide wings for the show, my answer would have to be no as long as Razek is still a gatekeeper for the angel’s runway.
One of the reasons I prefer fairies to angels is that fairies are not perfect and have never needed to be. Just like most of us.

The Rest of the 2018 Ethereal Collection Fairy Wings Are Here!

November 2, 2018 Angela Jarman

These 4 designs are the second half of the convertible 2018 Ethereal Collection, and they all are also done with the Chameleon Cherry Violet veining! They will be listed for sale at 10am Pacific Standard Time tomorrow morning, Saturday Nov. 3.
First up is Elvina, a feminine shape with curls and tendrils, done in iridescent Lilac.

Next is Pansy, a very full butterfly-ish shape with a slightly Art Nouveau or Art Deco look to the veins, done in iridescent Berry.

The third new design is the Nightshade, sort of the sister design to the classic Kira wings, done in iridescent Lilac.

Finally, the Aquatica fairy wings, with upturned tips similar to the Vivienne design from the 2106 Edition, done in Patina Green, which shows off the violet glitter veins beautifully! They would work well with sirens, mermaids, or even fire sprites!

As usual, be ready right at 10am tomorrow morning as wings tend to sell out within the first 5 minutes. These are all convertible wings with detachable panels, the only older style that is not convertible are the Aphrodite wings.

More Chameleon Cherry Violet Veined Fairy Wings

October 30, 2018 Angela Jarman

I haven’t set a date yet, I’m waiting to complete a couple more sets first but here are 2 more fairy wing sets with Chameleon Cherry Violet veins that change from black to violet to greenish gold. Both are from the new convertible 2018 Ethereal Collection with detachable panels that can be rotated and put in a closed resting position.
The Ivy wings in the top row have been made with a hybrid iridescent film combination! I used the Rose Gold and Lilac films to make a gorgeous film that has even more color that changes depending on the viewing angle. Tones of peachy orange, pink, violet, and touches of blue & green can be seen, with the orangey colors more visible on the back.

The Sintra fairy wings were done with the Ultraviolet film, which is the most transparent one and so ethereal looking next to the color changing veins.

Still more wings are being made, so keep watching and make sure you’re on the mailing list to get the most current updates! There is a signup widget on the right of this page if you’re on a desktop computer, or at the bottom if on mobile.

More Chameleon Veined Fairy Wings

Apologies for running out of time for proper photos today but check out the video! The sale date hasn’t been set yet, watch for that as well as more wings.

NEW Chameleon Colored Veining!

October 27, 2018 Angela Jarman

Introducing the Chameleon Cherry Violet vein color! It changes from a sort of fuchsia violet to a coppery green to black!

If you have glitter running through your veins, your wings can now too :) The new chameleon Cherry Violet color is predominantly a sort of sparkly fuchsia violet that changes to a coppery gold and green at more extreme angles. The effect is more subtle next to the brightness of the iridescent film, and the effect can depend on the type of lighting they are in as well.
The first set (top) are the new convertible Fauna fairy wings made with the iridescent Berry film.
The second set (bottom) are the Aphrodite wings in clear Diamond Fire. These are NOT convertible, the panels on these wings are fixed and can only be bent back, not rotated down like the new convertible line.
For video that shows a close-up of each, click these links:

I don’t have a date set yet for this sale, but here and the mailing list is where you’ll find out about it once I do. More to come!
