Your Fantasy Costume

We’ve covered fairy wings before in your fantasy costume in several articles, but this lovely site deserved an article on its own. On Gossamer wings has to be my favourite along with Enchanted costumes, these two sites are amazing if you want to look for fine, high quality sturdy fairy wings. Having previously featured Enchanted Costumes (please do and recheck, they’re AMAZING) we cover now another of the most wonderful wing makers you can find on the net.

Designer Angelina Doyle is the creator of On Gossamer wings. Due to the popularity of her fairy wings, circumstances have favored Angelia and granted her the ability to spread her wings and expand her artistic horizons through experimentation. Each new design (pieces that she has termed as “handcrafted ‘art-wear’ for the discerning fairy”) pushes into new realms and combines sheer artistry with unparalleled workmanship.

Check back often for her ever-expanding list of fly fairy flywear catallogue, some of the designs are really so lovely and unique.

Handcrafted from sturdy, rust-resistant wire, these irresistible wings can be positioned any way you desire. One of the many things that sets our fairy wings apart from other mass-produced wings is that both sides are decorated with the finest fairy dust available! We all know it is very important for a fairy to look their absolute best as they are both coming and going! The wings are lightweight and are worn backpack style with elastic arm loops. And you can also opt for something custom-made!

On gossamer wings were recently in the amazing and well known faerie magazine summer issue 2008 (congratulations)

Liselotte  Eriksson is a swedish artist and  photographer who also dares to design an enjoyable collection of items and fashion accessories that goes  from horns to hats and even wings and hairpins, with the design of the artist self to enhance its uniqueness  that would delight any fairy or faun.  Recently launched it promises to increase the catalog of her delicious fairy store THE CHANGELLING CLOSET.

Her goal  is to supply not only costume items, but also every day wear inspired by nature, Faerie, folklore and myth.  Recycling materials and Usthrifted materials and found objects when possible, thus keeping the prices down while also being friendlier to the environment yet still with a great flavour of one-of-a-kind  that on her words think it “adds a certain quirky charm to the pieces”,  but at extremely affordable prices.

Up: horns and elf ears

I find the hats so adorable…  just judge yourself, they’re absolutely original! and certainly gives me so many ideas!! I had the chance to meet Liselotte in person when I performed in the Fairy Ball (UK) last year, she was indeed one of the most original atendees with a garment made of all sort of recycled materials… it really catched my eye… and now it makes all sense to see this lovely store launched…!!

You’ll find a collection of several horns and pointed ears,  headpieces,  hand-painted bags… and even some lovely pendants made out of natural acorns… Just dive in!!

Lady Narf creates one of a kind wigs  made of fine materials: faeries, sprites, elves, brownies, Goth and Dark faeries, warriors that protect the land, Queens, Renaissance maidens, sea dwellers, and many other creatures. They’re indeed unusual and eye-catchy for sure, sometimes adding a rough hand-crafted finish, they really look sometimes mossy and fairy and enhanced by branches, leaves and horns. As they’re so unique and so hard to describe,  judge yourself by some pictures.
