These Fauna wings painted in a pastel rainbow colorway with gold veins & Opal iridescent film will be listing Monday, April 28 at 8pm PDT!
They will be $490 plus shipping.
I decided on the rainbow palette since it's Autism Acceptance Month.
Autism Awareness Month & associating it with the color blue was started by Autism Speaks, which is known to be really problematic in the way their organization treats and talks about autistic people. So, many of us celebrate it as acceptance month instead, with rainbow colors rather than blue and instead of the puzzle symbol, the infinity symbol is used.
It's my first Autism Acceptance Month as an officially diagnosed person, and, I am in no shape to donate to any organizations right now. I'll spare you the sob story since I've already written about the sad state of my bank account, but hey if you buy these wings you'll be directly supporting an autistic artist - me!
Like my autism, the painted rainbows on these may not be obvious at first, and take a closer look at different viewpoints to see the full spectrum.
If you're new here, I'm very late diagnosed at 50 just last year. It was also through Kaiser, which I thought was impossible as it took years to get. Don’t let them tell you it’s not available, they can refer out for an evaluation for adults if they don’t have someone available onsite.
I managed to finish one more ready-to-ship set of fairy wings for the flash sale, these simplified Colette wings in clear Diamond Fire with black veins - without the extra vinyl veins.
They will be $329 plus shipping. I think I may start selling the Pixish Collection wings like this, without the vinyl veins while people are reducing their spending.
Let me also say, although the Trump admin is doing everything they can to belittle & scare us with their privacy violating autism registry, I'm not hiding. Fuck that. Knowing I'm autistic and being able to let everyone else know has helped my mental health & I think makes it a bit easier to be understood.
And if they ever round us up to put us in some camp, y'all better set up a big GFM to get me out!
I hear they're walking back on that registry now however, after activism & outrage over it, but they're still 'investigating' the cause of autism and will probably collect information from health insurers to do so. In other words, they're probably going to somehow (wrongfully) conclude that vaccines cause autism so they can restrict access to them & carry out their eugenics plans. Denying covid is a part of that as well - disabled people have been viewed as disposable, and BIPOC people too.
Do you remember how when news came out about how not only medically vulnerable and autistic people, but BIPOC people are also more negatively affected by covid? And after that officials stopped trying to contain it & everyone's masks started coming off even though the vaccines can't fully prevent infection? Yeah I think there was a reason for that.
Anyway....
A quick note for those in the EU who want to buy wings - I can’t ship to the EU anymore due to their new requirements to hire a broker, etc, but I’ve learned there’s a service called AddressPal that can give you a US address for purchasing, and they then forward the package to you. It does NOT exempt you from any customs fees or import taxes, but they handle all that red tape for us & take care of the customs stuff! I’ve had a customer use it and it worked just fine.
I've also dropped off a batch of wing frames to get powder coated in white, so if you've been waiting for white veined wings keep a close eye out for flash sale announcements in the next few weeks. I'm also open to a few special orders right now as well as I’m catching up on previous orders, and will be getting more frames cut very soon so if you have any requests please get in touch.
There are also still made to order giant wings.
