Owner and designer, Angela Jarman

Welcome to fairyland.

I create original designs in the form of fairy wings and accessories formed from my vision of what I've always thought fairies would look like.  My background in professional fairy and princess parties got me started in making my own costumes and eventually, wings that I would later offer to the public.

I started selling iridescent fairy wings when there were none yet on the market, because I wanted wings that looked like they could have been plucked from a real fairy. Movies such as The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth were big inspirations in creating  fairy wings that seemed authentic and 'real'.  After finding a tiny set of iridescent insect wings that had been separated from their owner in a dog's fur that I was pet sitting for, I was inspired to make real life costume wings with that look. My very first set for myself was a bit clumsy, made of thin floral wire, film vinyl, tape and a wooden block based harness. My how they've evolved! My wire wings went through a few variations before finally creating the frames out of aluminum sheet cut directly from my own files, and is still the format I use today.

More about me:
I’m a late diagnosed autistic woman with ADHD, trying to survive as an artist in a world where artists are quickly being devalued while generative AI replaces so many of us, and fascism is rapidly gaining a foothold.
If you’re following my News blog here or on socials, I will get political at times and won’t apologize for that, because we’re living in a dangerous time and it’s too important to ignore.
I was born, raised, and back again living in the SF Bay Area of California.
I have been selling iridescent fairy wings since 2003, but my very first pair I actually made for myself in the mid 1990’s.

I currently work mostly alone, with occasional help from my SO, Jordan Price when needed and for tech work on light up and moving wings. I've branched out into crowns and headdresses, and hope to continue developing new shiny things that have not previously existed.
My dream is to concentrate more on elaborately detailed designs and developing new techniques, and I offer peeks behind the scenes on my Patreon. If it makes you feel magical, then I've done my job well.

Although I used to donate a small percentage of sales to a few different non-profits, the app that made it possible unfortunately started charging a monthly fee I can’t afford around the same time things started getting tougher financially, so I had to stop.
However, I still donate a small amount monthly to Planned Parenthood and Earth Justice.
