Absinthe & Arsenic, Goblin Style

These toxically gorgeous wings drop on Monday, October 6 at 8pm PDT!

Iridescent green, blue and black fairy wings with antennae and small appendages sticking out from the tips, worn on a dress form, front view

Happy weekend fairies!

I've got this set of Goblin Princess fairy wings done in a variation of the Rollerbird painting that follows the Absinthe & Arsenic colorway I've dabbled in before, but this time I used the Opal iridescent film rather than the clear Diamond Fire for cooler toned greens with touches of blue.
They will be $489 plus shipping, and will be listing Monday night, Oct. 6 at 8pm PDT.

I hope to also have another set of wings if I can squeeze them in there but this might be the only set this week..

The listings will show up here at the start time:

In my Second Life news, I was shocked to find out that one of the creators, Fairyzette Sahara of Les Sucreries De Fairy, who I reported for 3 different wing infringements early this year has actually doubled down and released one of them AGAIN with a few insignificant changes.

The sales event they were being sold at opened to the public yesterday, and after 4 days since I sent all the proof of ownership to the organizers the stolen content remained up until 1am this morning or so I’m told. Haven’t had a chance to check on it and there are RL things to take care of right now, so if there are any further updates I’ll make them here later.
Mentioning it in the event’s group chat yesterday since the organizers had still not acted, got me chastised for commenting and I was locked out of the chat, which is no surprise at this point. I've been learning that a lot of these events put language against copyright infringement in their rules but often don't actually care to enforce them or make them a lower priority than they should be :/
More on that on my PrimFeed account, which is a social media site for SL users:

I might have more updates on this eventually.

2 Special Fairy Wings Ready to Fly to You

These 2 sets of fairy wings will be dropping tomorrow, Aug. 30 at 11am PDT!

Blue iridescent butterfly shaped fairy wings with markings & 'eye' spots like the Buckeye butterfly, with silver veins, worn on a dress form, front view

These Pansy wings (above) painted in a Blue Buckeye inspired colorway with silver veins, laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film will be listing for $490 plus shipping, as will these Mary Jane fairy wings (below) laminated in Patina Green with black veins for $599 plus shipping.

Green iridescent fairy wings styled after hemp leaves with black veins, worn on a dress form, front view

I only cut 2 of these, 1 was a special custom order for an indie film and this is the other one.
I originally meant to keep these & wear them for Halloween or do a fun photo shoot, but I don't know if those things will happen and I gotta pay those bills! They're actually an extra large set cut from the thicker .05" thick aluminum and come with a longer brace, but like all my others they are still convertible.

The wings will go live at 11am Saturday here:

Kira and Cosette Fairy Wings

These 2 sets of wings will be dropping tomorrow, Aug. 20 at 8pm PDT ready to ship!

Purple & blue iridescent fairy wings with a spikey profile and antennae, with silver veins, are viewed from the front, worn on a dress form

These Kira wings will be available, I'm calling this colorway 'Grape Sorbet'. They have chrome silver veins and the film used is Opal, they will be $360 plus shipping

Large blue / green iridescent fairy wings with silver veins featuring antennae along the top and a spikey profile, worn on a dress form, front view

These Cosette wings in Opal with silver veins (and without the additional vinyl veins) will be listed tomorrow night at 8pm PDT along with the painted Kira wings I posted yesterday.
They will be $345 plus shipping.

I may actually list 2 sets if you all really like this color combo. It is a very ethereal, magical look IMO!
I think this might be it for tomorrow. Also thinking about taking the Pansy wings down & making them painted & ready to ship later this week or next, and I have a frame set of those cannabis leaf wings that was a special order that I just might list as well. I had visions of a photo shoot but I don't know when that would happen and need the sales more.

These wings will be listing here:
https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Also, I don't know if I'll be able to continue offering this same shiny chrome silver for the veins after this batch is gone :/ My vendor just informed me that each bag has gone up in price 50%!
So far the other colors aren't affected but I don't know if that will stay true for long.
I'll have to decide if I'm going to raise prices, or if I'm going to have to go with a different silver.

Trump's tariffs are of course to blame. On a positive note, I sold all the remaining wings in my shop except the Pansy wings that are still up, and I took down the listing for the Kira wings to make these. That's a big relief, and I'm grateful for every order and every Patron here. Once again, I’m opening to some custom orders so get in touch asap if you had something special in mind for Halloween.
Thank you all for your support!

The Pansy Painted 'Iris' Fairy Wings Get Gilded

I love them even more with the veins in gold! And the gold makes the 'Iris' name more fitting don't you think?

Large butterfly-esque iridescent fairy wings in shades of plum purple, blue and pink with art nouveau style gold veins, worn on a dress form, front view

I hope it's not confusing having the design named after one flower and the painted colorway named after another, but that's what seemed to be calling to me.
They also give off some Fairytopia vibes.
I'm knocking $10 off the usual price because these have a copper back brace instead of gold so it's not a perfect match. That probably won't matter to most of you if you prefer to wear it tucked in or otherwise covered.
They will be $480 plus shipping.

Large transparent iridescent orange/yellow/green dragonfly-like iridescent fairy wings with copper veins have 3 elongated panels on each side, worn on a dress form, front view

These simplified Fayette wings (above) in Patina Green film and copper veins will also be available for $345. I didn’t put any tattered holes in them this time but if you want them when you buy them, let me know and I’ll add them in for you.
I’m also going to stop putting ‘simplified’ in the title of this version without the extra vinyl veins since I don’t plan to make those again unless they’re ordered or requested due to the sluggish economy right now for luxury items like this.

I'll also have a repeat set of the Kira wings in Poison Apple with gold veins, and a set of Datura wings in clear Diamond Fire with copper veins.

They'll be listed on Wed. July 30 at 8pm PDT on my Flash Sales page:
https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

*Fairies, I'm sorry, I really thought I'd made the Kira painted wings in the Ocean colorway previously with gold veins so when the News blog post emailed out it said those would be re-listing, but when I went to edit the listing I realized those had silver veins. Not gold.
I didn't actually finish them just yet, since wings haven't been all selling out right after they list I was going to finish them tonight or tomorrow, but since I wouldn't have photos for a listing I'm going to remake them in the Poison Apple film instead like the ones in my previous News post.

HOWEVER, since silver is the next vein color to be powder coated, I'm happy to take a pre-order for the Kira wings in Ocean with silver veins.
Or an order for them in a different color.

Sorry again for my mistake. This month has not been great so I've been running on fumes, and I feel like I've been saying that for months but it's true and tomorrow is CA sales tax due date which is going to really suck.

I'm also opening up to more special orders, and as I'm getting new designs ready I may even be able to take pre-orders for those or offer a sort of custom order during this window of time. I've changed my FAQ to reflect that.
If you have a certain style you're looking for, get in touch, as I may be able to incorporate requests into the designs I'm working on or tweak them to get to your desired look.
I don’t know how long I’ll be offering this, so if you were wanting your dream wings for Halloween start planning now!

If we've discussed this before but I haven't followed up yet, feel free to email me again about it in case I can’t find our emails discussing it.

The Return of Fancy Fairy Wings in Second Life™

*There’s an update to one of the infringement stories further below about Fairyzette Sahara, who released one of the aready reported designs yet again, further down this page.

It’s been over 5 months that I’ve been quietly working nights & weekends to learn Blender and make proper mesh animated fairy wings in Second Life, and they are now complete!
Below is a quick peek at them in one of the colors (from the gender queer flag) from the Pride edition.

They aren’t ‘my’ flag colors - those would be the demi / ace, but this matched my Magnolia dress from Caverna Obscura too perfectly!
The Pride flag inspired pack of Iridescent Teasel 3.0 Bento Fairy Wings is now available, exclusively at the Androgyny Event at an introductory price through July 28!

25% of each sale of these is automatically donated to Second Pride & the It Gets Better non profit.

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Calico%20Bay/165/58/2504

Here’s the product photo for ya

The essentials pack is also available there, as well as at my in world store and Marketplace. They cost 50L less in world, and current pricing of $350L is a lower introductory price.
Find them at the MP here:

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Teasel-30-Iridescent-Bento-Fairy-Wings/27294913

Here’s the vendor image for them:

These are 100% original mesh and design. You may have seen this design on the grid (and a whole lotta places online) from people who've copied them in various forms without my permission, but I created this design way back in 2008 for SL and RL.

I made wings, clothes and skins back then before I dipped out for years due to outdated hardware & life struggles.

In 2017 I made some wings that used the bento bones and animations I made in Blender, but the wings themselves were flexi prims because I was so attached to the way flexi prims move in SL. But now I’m calling them ‘franken-flexi’ because of the issues that crop up with them - they required specific body heights & didn’t work for all avatars, and the big square prims would have a lot of alpha glitch with other partially transparent items, which was way more noticeable when a whole square area is glitching.

This time, I worked my fairy butt off nights and weekends learning how to make a proper mesh in Blender and made my own wing rig that allowed me to animate the upper and lower wing panels separately. Something I wish was possible in real life!
I also had help from an old SL friend, Siyu Suen of Illusions to get me up to speed on Blender and other things I needed to know about SL along with a lot of encouragement. I don’t know if I could’ve done it without her!

Here’s video of the animation HUD that’s included with the wings so you have a lot of control over what they’re doing:

My designs have often been copied without permission in SL

Many of my designs have been copied in Second Life, some ripped right from my SL wings and others used my RL wing photos as their designs & textures. Some made their own mesh but still copied the design itself rather than come up with something on their own.
This Teasel design was copied vein for vein a few years ago & became a best seller, by Aenea Christensen, who admitted to copying them but was still terrible about it all, and has been lying about me and the situation. Now on the changed version they state that their previous edition was ‘removed due to a malicious DMCA report’.
That’s pretty laughable seeing as how they’d already admitted to copying mine, specifically the veins, which is literally the core of the design. I had left comments in response to the claim that it was ‘malicious’ as I was upset they were lying about the situation, and this below was their response.

These days I wouldn’t bother to interact at all with an infringer’s content this way, and give the facts if necessary in my own space instead such as my own blog. Maybe I shouldn’t have left a review at all, I can acknowledge that. But it’s still upsetting to think someone is out there lying about my business & possibly harming sales when they were the ones to do something illegal.
Their links to wings they claim are the same were literally nothing at all like my Teasel design, but I’m sure they tell people I copied a nature design to deflect. They may be generally similar to fly wings, but there’s no duplicate of these in nature.
I’m also SO tired of the argument “you can’t copyright fairy wings” as if I’m trying to claim ownership of every single fairy wing out there, which I’m absolutely not. It’s a strawman argument I get all the time when people have no other good excuse.
I know, there’s the whole ‘you shouldn’t care what other people say about you’ but when it comes to someone’s reputation as a creator selling their art, especially when they’re just returning to the market & having to compete with people selling copies, I’d say it does matter.

Brands who’ve copied multiple wing designs

My Colette wing design was even offered as full perm in SL by Les Sucreries De Fairy, with only the inner veins changed a bit, but the unique outer profile was fairly exact. That shape is specific. They were also selling wings that copied pretty exactly the outer shape of my Fauna wings, and exact copies of my Acorn wings, and some that copied a lot of the outer shape of my Nimue wings. I sold the Nimue wing in SL, they might still be in my in world shop, and the others are all newer wings whose photos are always watermarked by me whenever posted anywhere online. You can see them for yourself if you click on the design names.
So the fact that they were selling that many copies of my wings is not cool. I reached out after reporting a couple of them and asked her to remove the remaining ones & not to copy mine or anyone else’s wings again. Although she did remove the remaining wings I never got a reply or an explanation at all.
This was the notecard I sent her in April, it mentions the Elida wings being removed already (the Acorn fairy wings copy was in that costume pack) but there must have been more of them or she did not delete them completely from her MP because LL sent me confirmation of removal.

The lack of an explanation or apology and the number of designs they copied, one of them full perm plus the size of their store and prevalence in many in world market events, warrant mentioning IMO. If I bought a stolen design I’d want to know myself.
Their latest wings look like they could be using someone’s photo as a texture but I don’t know that for sure, so take that with a grain of salt. If anyone sees more copies of additional designs please let me know. Below are screenshots of the copies except for the Nimue, which I didn’t grab screenshots of in time. They might still be in her Flickr somewhere, the texture inside was like a bright mozaic.

Update Oct. 7 2025, Fairyzette made the bad decision to make a few small changes to the copy of the Acorn Fairy Wings and released them AGAIN for the We <3 Role Play October event. I’ve fully documented everything that went down here.

I've also recently discovered my Pansy, licensed Amy Brown Bubble Rider, Bee fairy, and Nimue wings sold by Cherry Evergarden of Enchanted Delights & had them all removed via DMCA. As you can see, she used my actual photos and in the case of the Nimue wings she even used my texture from the SL wings I sold. These screenshots will show today’s date in the metadata because I originally took a PDF screenshot of the listings as it captured the entire page that way, but that won’t work for posting to this blog. I never heard from them, they simply relisted the costumes with different wing designs.

I also found my photos of my Painted Small Lizette wings copied & used as a wing texture sold by Faunus, and they used my Fly fairy wings photo for wings in an event hunt.
This was really disappointing, as I had admired their work and they’re a pretty well known brand for fantasy costuming & accessories in SL for fairies. I took a chance & reached out to them on Facebook to ask for removal since the hunt item would be tough to report. They replied and apologized, and they did remove the items.
Then they asked if I’d let them continue selling them & give me a percentage of sales. I politely declined, and after they acknowledged that, they blocked me. I appreciate that they did remove the content and apologized, but why on earth did they block me? That soured things when we could have possibly carried on as professional acquaintances & I was even planning on buying some of their outfits had they left things at the apology without blocking.
But not now. That’s a deal breaker for me, being blocked after getting caught infringing is always a bad sign leaves no room for trust. I don’t think I said anything that warranted that. Receipts below.

All these infringements may cause confusion to the customer who will question which one is the original, especially if the infringer sweeps it under the rug without notifying their audience of their removal. There are only a couple instances where they more than made up for things & even paid me without me asking, so all is forgiven and I won’t ever need to mention them.
I’ve never received a penny from any of the rest, most never bother with an apology either.

I am a staunch supporter of copyright, and creating something brand new is the fun part for me, so you won't find purchased stock photos or art in my wing work. I also don't enjoy using designs straight from nature as much as I do creating a fantasy design, so wearing my wings means you won't have the same stock designs that many other creators offer.

I may dabble in drastically re-texturing & styling full perm mesh clothing for fairies to go with my wings while I'm still working on my mesh skills, since making fitted mesh clothes from scratch seems like some kind of torture I can't wrap my brain around yet, but I'd have to be sure they're reputable & will state who the mesh is from if that happens.

I hope to populate my store in the coming months with more new wings, to bring all the fairies back to SL.

Ready to Ship Wing Drop Sunday, June 29 at 7pm PDT

I’ll have 6 sets of ready-to-ship fairy wings this Sunday the 29th at 7 Pacific Daylight Time, starting with these Titania painted fairy wings in Electric Rainbow!

Iridescent rainbow fairy wings with elongated slightly downward curved tips on upper panels, and small tail that swoops up from bottom panels, worn on a dress form, front view

The Electric Rainbow Titania wings will be $339 plus shipping. They have the 2 layers of vinyl instead of 3, and moving forward I think that's how the painted wings will be made as it saves a little time and material costs now that tariffs have increased pricing on things. The veins are copper. I wanted to have these done earlier in the month in time for people to wear them to Pride events, but life has been life-ing and I got behind. I don't think rainbows ever go out of style though, especially for fairies, and LGBTQ pride should be a constant thing.
Although I donated quite a bit a couple years ago to the Transgender Law Center, I can't afford any significant donations right now so I hope whoever buys them will consider donating to them or a similar organization as the Trump admin keeps up their attacks on the trans community.

The next new wing set is the simplified Cosette in Autumn Night with black veins.

Large orange / green iridescent fairy wings featuring antennae along the top and a spikey profile, worn on a dress form, front view

The simple Cosette wings will be $345.
I'll also have a repeat set of Titania and Kira fairy wings in clear Diamond Fire with copper veins for $195 each, a set of simple Fayette wings in Opal with gold veins for $345, and painted Electric Rainbow Pansy wings with copper veins for $450.
I was hoping I could squeeze out at least one more set but I don't know if that will happen or not, if it does it will be a surprise :)

As usual, all the wings will show up at the start time here:

New Pansy Painted Fairy Wings in 'Iris'

Happy Fairy Friday! This set of Pansy wings painted in the ‘Iris’ colorway with lush aubergine purples, magentas & blues will be available ready to ship on Saturday May 31 at noon PDT.
There will also be a made-to-order sale on Sunday, June 1st at noon!

Iridescent fairy wings with a butterfly-like shape and short 'tails' in purples & blues with touches of pink & orange, back view

I usually start posts with the front view as the main photo, but this photo of the back had such a beautiful mix of colors that I had to make it the star! Don't forget to click through to see all of them.

These are the Pansy wings. I'm calling this colorway Iris, which has the same kind of color patterning that the Water Lily ones have but with rich aubergine purples & fucshia, touches of blue & bits of orange in the 'eyes'. It's definitely one of my favorites and I hope it's yours too.
This time I tried it without that extra 3rd layer of clear vinyl on the print, as this new batch seems to dry faster without any tackiness and it worked out fine!
It is costing a little more now so it won't be a huge price difference, but I'm able to bring it down to $450 plus shipping rather than $490. It also doesn't take quite as long to laminate which is a bonus for me & allows me to lower the price a bit.

These will be listing Saturday, May 31 at 12pm PDT ready to ship.

I wanted to have more wings to offer ready to go, but I was working on orders that are due and ran low on vinyl before I realized it. It's on the way but I won't have it till Monday.

So, I'm going to have a Made-To-Order sale the next day on Sunday, June 1 at 12pm where I'll have Datura, Fayette, Cosette, Kira and Titania wings.
I may offer the Kira wings as painted and allow the option to have the others painted with an additional fee. The Cosette would cost more to have painted though. The older cut file got used, and that version has a bottom panel that's too large to do a print from my printer so I'd need to send out for a print for it.
I have to make a giant set anyway that I'll have to get printed from that vendor so I can do them both at the same time if you really want those.
They'd be $600 painted.
I think I'll try making painted wings without the extra layer from now on unless it's requested in a special order, so they can be a little more affordable during this tariff roller coaster we're all on in the US.
I'm still on the struggle bus myself and would rather they sell than sit here.
They'll be listed at their ready to ship prices, with black veins.

I'm also almost caught up with special orders, there's only 3 left, with one of them still needing a color choice from the customer, so I'm open to more special orders.
I have black veined frames right now of all the designs listed above, gold will be next, and then I think silver or copper after that.

Below are the new prices for painted / printed wings if you choose to upgrade from the MTO black veined listings:

Datura (would be $450)

Fayette (would be $550)

Cosette (would be $600)

Kira (would be $360)

Titania (would be $350)

Remember, the listings won't show up until their start time.

The Pansy 'Iris' wings will list on Saturday, May 31 at 12pm PDT.
The made-to-order wings will list on Sunday, June 1 at 12pm PDT.

They will be available here:
https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

*If you've been waiting for your wing order, they are done or nearly done - I only have one to fully laminate and one that needs the lower panels finished - but I'm waiting on the vinyl to arrive as well as the inner cardboard padding for shipping. For some reason that cardboard stuff has been out of stock everywhere locally and taking a long time to ship, but it's supposed to show up Monday.
