Description In my back yard, I just had to get pictures of my latest style of wings - Punk Pixie, I have named them Here you can see them at a good angle, and how they seem to sprout out of your back.

These wings have five petals on each wing, made from very fine, hand-dyed silk. Each petal is edged in black, which prevents them from fraying after They are attached to a wire frame, but are only wired at the top of each petal, allowing the silk to hang and flutter in the breeze.

At the base of the wings is a scroll, which allows you to wear them with any bodice that is open at your shoulder blades. Usually, a bra is enough to hold these in place, because they're so incredibly light. A corset will keep them from shifting, otherwise, a bandage right under your bra (or, around your chest if you're a guy) will help to support them. The scroll can, however, be easily converted to use straps to hold them on.

These are small enough wings that you won't poke everyone around you in the eye while wearing them. Also, the special wire they're made out of is highly resistant to kinks, so bumping into thing should not bend them unduly.

These will be for sale shortly, feel free to note me about custom colors and pricing

Information about all of the wings I have made can be found here~

Wing Details: Hand-dyed silk (blue & purple), millinery wire

Those are adorable! I like the size because you could wear them all night partying and they wouldn't stab strangers or get in the way.

That was definitely the idea - keep them smaller and controlled, so I wouldn't kill someone wearing them (the huge wings were a total danger at even a small convention!)

Hehe, I can't wait to get to make more of these - I just did a pink pair, but now I want to do a bunch of other colors, too

If you do want a pair, I'll cut you a deal on them, for sure!

How much would a pair of these cost?

taeliac In reply to Damica [2008-05-29 00:44:35 +0000 UTC]

It really depends on if I'd need to buy the dye for the colors you'd like, but what I currently have dye for, and planned, are these (blue/purple), hot pink, lime green/yellow, flame red/orange, and a blue/aqua (a darker color like my bigger wings)... anything else, I'd have to buy dye for probably (except lighter colors of them). But, I'd guess between $75 & $90, depending, but otherwise, I'm willing to work out a price

I migth have to ask you to make me a pair over the summer. I'm trying to make a blue fairy outfit, and these would work nicely because as much as I love the big flowy ones, if I wore the to bristol they would be bumped into or ruined. These, however, seem the perfect size, and no straps so they woudl be bodice friendly. I would most likely want an "aqua" colored.

By the way, you were stunning at Acen. I saw you and your boy in costume, and wa sgoing to say hi, but you were suddenly asked for a picture so I scooted past and let you pose.

I was thinking the same thing - I wanted to wear my big one's, but it would be death!

You know, if you would be kind enough to hand out cards for me at Bristol, I'll cut you a huge deal on the wings - just materials and whatnot, because I'm making a couple variations for myself, ~MedeaHiasobi , my fiance, and his friend, just because I want to do these more than cosplay this summer I'll *hopefully* have an aqua pair done tomorrow, they dye is setting up now~ and they'll be about this size, but with tails down the back

Oh, I'm sorry about that! Anything after 11 or so on Saturday, I don't remember Thank you, though! I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you, though - we should have a crazy costume day in the park sometime, what do you think?

I would so hand out your cards. I'm all for suporting people doing what they love, and you do seem to <3 crafting.

As far as Acen, don't worry about it. Kouzi and I were running around chaseing after one of her friends trying to keep them happy and entertained (friends from down south) so we were busy as well. I am totaly up for a costume day in the park though! Any excuse to get dressed up is a good enough one for me ^_^
