Ready to Ship Flash Sale Sunday Dec. 3 at 1pm PST!

In this flash sale I’ll be listing at least 3, possibly 4 sets of painted fairy wings (will update that number later today) which will include these Fayette wings from the Pixish Collection, done in the ‘Water Lily’ theme with greens & blues and touches of pink laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film, with gold veining. They will be $590 plus shipping.

The next set of painted wings are the 26 inch long Trinket wings with the Celestial theme laminated onto the clear Aurora film, and chrome silver veining. These ended up with a bit more wrinkling on the back than usual so there will be a small discount. I’ve included some close-ups of what that looks like in the front and back, you can see that it’s not really apparent in the front so I don’t really consider these to be defective enough to re-do them. Sometimes the wrinkling happens after I’ve laminated the film possibly due to not enough tension in the process of laminating.
They will be $480 plus shipping.

These Elvina wings painted in the 'Blue Dream' color theme, laminated onto the Ultraviolet iridescent film with silver chrome veins will be listing tomorrow as well. They’ll be $490 plus shipping.

A set of the Colette painted wings in the green Absinthe & Arsenic colorway, laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film with black veins will also be listing. These photos are of the set I made for a customer’s order previously, the ones listing Sunday will be the same. They will be $510 plus shipping.

The wings are all ready-to-ship but will be shipped after Wednesday as I’m out of the packaging for them and waiting for them to be delivered. There might be a set or two of un-painted repeat wings but I’m still deciding whether they should wait till the next sale.

As I’ve mentioned before, the painted wings now include an additional layer of clear film on top of the print for extra protection, water resistance and durability. However, I still haven’t tested them under water so I can NOT promise they would survive a swim or underwater shoot. As always, they are digitally hand painted by me and printed onto a layer of vinyl.

Remember, the listings won’t show up until the start time, in my Flash Sale shop page here:

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.

Ready to Ship Fairy Wings Flash Sale Tuesday Oct. 24 at 9pm Pacific

These extra large ‘Moody Mauve’ painted Datura fairy wings are actually already listed, with the rest scheduled for Tuesday at 9pm PDT

I finally decided to let these extra large Datura wings go. I meant to keep them for myself but never got to wear them, and now my wide format printer has pooped out on me just as I was trying to squeeze in some last minute painted wing listings so I'm offering these up! Hand painted digitally by me, and laminated on the Lilac film which has been discontinued by the vendor so these are a pretty unique set.
You can purchase them here, and installment payment plans are possible:
https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/products/extra-large-datura-iridescent-convertible-painted-moody-mauve-fairy-wings-ready-to-ship

The wings below will be listing on Tuesday the 24th at 9pm Pacific Time, starting with these Colette wings in Opal with gold veins that I decided to try making without the complex vinyl vein layer this time.

Maybe next time I’ll include the intricate vinyl vein layer, but the Cosette design I made that way in gold took a while to sell due to the price point required, even though the black veined version was snapped up quickly. Might have been timing or the lack of contrast that the black veins have, in any case these simplified ones will be $329 plus shipping. The metal vein structure is still more detailed than most of the Ethereal Collection designs.

These Aphrodite wings below will also be listing, in the same Opal iridescent film with gold veining. They will be $369 plus shipping.

The last new set will be the Trinket wings laminated in Poison Apple, with gold veining. They will be $279 plus shipping. I’ll also have a repeat set of the Fauna wings in Dark Crystal with black veins available.

If you want to have any of these arrive by next weekend, you MUST email me as you may need to pay for faster shipping.
Remember, these listings won’t show up until 9pm Pacific Daylight Time on Oct. 24th on my Flash Sale shop page here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

For the Pumpkin Spice Fans!

'Pumpkin Spice' is what I'm naming this colorway, inspired by Buckeye and Peacock butterfly patterns, painted on my Pansy wing design.

I had a sudden inspiration to finally paint my version of those butterflies on Saturday and found myself painting for quite a few hours until I had the look I wanted.

These will be listing in tomorrow night's ready-to-ship flash sale at 8pm Pacific along with the painted Fayette wings in my last News post, and a couple others. I’ll either update this or make a new blog post letting you know what the other wings will be.

They will be $489, marked down slightly from the usual $500 for painted wings because I've finally found vinyl material I can print at home again which saves me driving time. However, it takes more time printing them myself due to having to babysit the pages as they print and also having to lay them out on my table to fully cure before laminating. They also now all have an additional clear layer of vinyl protecting the ink surface before the final lamination with the frames, so painted wings have 3 clear vinyl layers versus the 1 layer that single color iridescent wings have which makes them more durable. So you're getting an even more durable set of wings for slightly less than before.
Same goes for the Fayette wings I already shared, I forgot to mention this change. As always, these are digitally hand painted by me using a stylus in Photoshop and / or Painter.

Although they are more durable and are still very water resistant as well, I still can't promise they will hold up under water for a whole underwater shoot as well as the single color wings and have not had a chance to test this new brand of printable vinyl in water. You're of course welcome to test this yourself, but I can't be held liable if the ink layer gets damaged.

Again, the ready-to-ship wing sale is tomorrow, October 3 at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time at this link: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Remember to be ready at the start time as wings sometimes sell out quickly. They won’t be visible until the start time for the sale.

Ready To Ship Wings Sale Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 8pm PDT

This wicked set of Fayette wings will be featured in this ready to ship drop Tues. at 8pm Pacific! I’m naming this colorway ‘Poison Plum’.

It's going to be hard to give these up, not gonna lie. I'm a bit in love with these colors. After I finished them I thought they seemed to have a similar color palette to the sea witch Ursula and almost named them as such, but am going with 'Poison Plum' instead. I think they’d go great with a ‘bad fairy’ or goth look as much as they’d work with a purple flower fairy of some sort. They will be $590, and are the largest wings that work in the flapping mechanisms I sell.
Do you want to see more wings with these colors in the future? If not, what other combos are you looking for?

I was originally going to try to have a sale this weekend, but due to technical difficulties and other snags I'm going to have it Tuesday night, Oct. 3 at 8pm Pacific Time instead.

I'll post more updates here as I finish other wings so watch this space over the next couple days, and there will be a couple repeat colorways as well. There will be at least one pumpkin spice fairy theme ;)
These will all be ready to ship!
They’ll be listed on my Flash Sales page here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Ch-ch-ch-changes to the Fairy Wing Shop

Well fairies, I’ve been missing a big glitch on product pages!

Well! I didn't realize for a while that the Add to Cart button was glitching out in my Shopify store! I noticed this week that it disappeared whenever you go to a product page & wouldn't pop back up again until 6 or 7 full seconds, which may have led people to assume they were sold if they scrolled all the way down the description to see if maybe it was at the bottom and probably leaving the page after. *forehead slap*
I'd contacted customer support and was told that my site theme was too old & needed to be replaced with a newer one for the button to work as it should, and, for the payment installments notice to also be visible.
Here I was, all this time thinking that was being made available to everyone since I did activate installment payments roughly a year ago - but when I noticed the cart button issue I noticed the installments banners & notices were also not there.
Fairies, it has now been fixed. Please, if you notice any weird bugs in the future I'd love to be informed so I can address it faster.
I would like to clean the home page up further, and I will, but for now at least things are working as they should.

There are still 2 made-to-order wings left, the Cosettes - like the ones in the photo above - and the extra large Ellette wings which have been heavily discounted from the previous price of $675 down to $600.
The ready-to-ship Cosette wings have also been discounted from $595 to $559 to make up for the glitchiness.
You can browse and purchase them here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

I will have another set of gold veined Cosette wings in my next ready-to-ship sale if the ones currently listed don't sell in the next couple days & I pull the listing. I already have the vinyl vein layer cut & weeded so they need to be made.
I'm thinking I might go with a warm color this time as we head into fall weather, like either the Blush, Poison Apple, or Rose Gold. The Poison Apple would give a nice contrast to the gold veining.
Or should I go for something like Dark Crystal film? What do you think?

Gold Veined Pixish Wings and Made to Order Sale

First, let me introduce you to the first Pixish Collection wing design with gold veining!

The Cosette wings are shown here done in gold for the first time, with the Opal iridescent film.

I've changed the gold to a new metallic gold that's similar visually but matches a vinyl better so I could pair the frames with the delicate vinyl vein layer in this color now. The candy coat gold was beautiful but double the cost for me, with coverage that was at times a bit inconsistant.
I'll have the other 2 Pixish Collection designs in gold eventually as well but they aren't ready just yet.
These list Sunday, Sept. 3 at 6pm Pacific Time ready to ship. However due to the restrictions on MailChimp’s basic subscription & the fact I have a separate VIP email list that’s also thru MailChimp I can’t publish this on my News blog until after 24 hours have passed after sending the email newsletter so it’s possible they’ll be snatched up by the time this publishes.

My Patreon patrons and the VIP email list always get notified of sales first, so if you want to be notified earlier please subscribe to one of those.

Now, for the made-to-order sale on Labor Day!
The sale will be on Monday Sept. 4 at 7pm PDT, which will be for made-to-order wings and will include a listing for a gold veined set of the Cosette wings in your choice of film, plus a set with black veins each priced at $595, as well as listings for Fauna wings ($360), Elvina wings ($350) and Aphrodite wings ($400) all with black veins. I'll also have a listing for MTO 26" Trinket wings with gold veins for ($350).
Note that the black veined Cosette wings can be either a single iridescent film color with the additional vinyl vein layer, OR, painted, without the vinyl vein layer since the black ink stands in for the thinner veins and makes the vinyl layer unnecessary. That is not the case with the gold veined Cosettes.

After this, I should be getting back to more ready-to-ship flash sales.
