Big Wings, Small Sale

I made a set of Fayette wings in the Water Lily colorway but with black veining this time, ready to ship! They’ll be listing tomorrow, Sunday March 24 at 11am PDT.

I'll also be listing another set of Fayette wings I've made before, the Cosmic Berry colorway.

They'll both be available ready to ship in my Flash Sale shop this Sunday March 24 at 11am PDT, cost is $590 plus shipping.

For the next sale, what wings would you like to see? Which colors are you waiting for?

Ready to Ship Flash Sale on Tuesday Nov. 21 at 8pm Pacific Time

These painted ‘Absinthe’ Datura wings will be available in a flash sale on Nov. 21 at 8pm PST. Please note though that all orders will be shipped next week after the holiday weekend.

La fee verté! Inspired by the mythical green fairy said to visit those who drink Absinthe liquor, these wings feature my digitally hand painted pattern in brilliant shades of green & gold, with touches of purple in the ‘eye’ spot. The veins are gold. I’ve only offered these before with the foil accents and Swarovski crystals, but they’re pretty stunning on their own without the embellishments as well as a bit more affordable.

As I’ve mentioned recently, I’ve been able to reduce the cost of the painted & printed wings slightly on my end enough to add another clear layer of vinyl over the print for better adhesion to the vinyl on top as well as to make them more durable and water resistant. I still have not tested these under water however, so try that at your own risk and understand they might not survive the dunk. I hope to be able to test it soon.

Next are the Aphrodite fairy wings in Patina Green with silver chrome veins. I have been neglecting this film color, but it is a unique one not easily found elsewhere and it has a softer shine than the others. Sort of the sister film to the Rose Gold which has a similar satin finish instead of super glossy and shiny.

I’ll also have a couple of repeat wings listed. Again, these are all ready to ship but won’t ship out until next week after the holiday weekend as I realized I accidentally got the wrong type of screws & need to re-stock those.

If you are having trouble threading the nuts onto the screws / bolts with the static assembly, and the tip of the bolt is pinched or tapered, you probably have the wrong type! It should be a machine screw with a vertical shaft that’s flat at the end with no tapers, the size is 4/40 and the head type is the pan head. You can usually find these at your local hardware store in the bins where you can pick them individually for maybe 12 cents a piece. I’m trying to email the customers that I think got the wrong hardware before I realized it.

Here's a link to the flash sale page, with a reminder that they won't show up until the start time. https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Tiny Sale, Big Wings

I’ll have 2 fairy wing listings on Sunday, August 27 at 11am PDT!

They will both be made-to-order listings. First is the Extra Large Ellette wings, with gold veins for $675. These won’t have the candy gold, they’ll be a new gold that visually looks mostly the same but the coverage will be more consistent and won’t cost me double.

Next are the Fayette wings

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
