Wings

Aside of a selection of  isis wings in high quality (taffeta, silk, organza) as well as a selection of smaller sizes for kids. Dancing wings feature a colorful and vibrant collection. I saw them live in faerieworlds festival a couple of years back when we coincided (I was there as performer) and felt very tempted and inclined by then. Recently I stopped in their site again and found their lovely chiffon silk wings (picture below in the article) and felt in love with them! sigh!

The Faerie wing shoppe is a company based in UK that manufactures hand-made  light weight and realistic fairy wings designed  by SarahDuxbury. Yes, in UK, when most of the wing makes are USA based, here's a closer shop for customers in Europe. The wings take around a week to be made and range from iridescent several tones membrane  to some gorgeous models with lights.  They remind me a little bit to the delicate wings of Kira (from The Dark Crystal movie).  You can order with different vein patterns, colors, material and with or without lights. Basic pattern comes strapless so they will look even more realistically attached to your back  but if you feel safer with them they can also be added by request. If you have of course any other idea in mind she's open for discussing to make the  just the  custom perfect wings you have in your head for that special occasion.

"Every time a fairy is born in a tree it becomes a dryad" Dryads and forest nymphs are one of my favourite topics overall... and they're often portrays as part tree with leaves and branches. This is a drawing I made myslef of one dryad... of course anything with leaves, green wigs, leave pendants and other extras will help, and we'll cover that in precision very soon... but today I wanted to share specifically these lovely wings I found and that would fit so well your forest nymph design.

In one of our previous featured videos you saw how to make your fairy wings with stockings, here is another alternative way of making them, maybe a little bit more fragile using wire and cellophane. Cellophane and vinyl gives those transparent effect that makes the wings look more like an insect than a butterfly. If you're good at crafts there's quite a wealth of tutorials that will teach you to make them. If not there are some affordable models around the net that will delight you as well. In this Karenwhimsy website you'll find some free templates you can use ... though I recommend to design your own wings... after all it's what they will make them special If you're good at crafts Faerie Muse show you a step-by-step guide about how to make them. Please click on the picture to see her website.

The pic above is a shot of a movie from the eighties called Date with an Angel It really was NOT such a good movie but that kind of romantic and entertaining comedies, BUT the angel wings the main character (gorgeous Emmanuelle Beart) had on the movie always stayed in my mind as what I'd love to wear on stage!! Oh yes, such lovely wings with a very obvious animatronic mechanism...! and thus and we´ll cover soon also a post about flapping mechanisms and also some tutorials, harnesses and other gadgets to move your wings live.

Yes, I know it's much easier to purchase already made angel wings but if you're good at crafts you can really attempt to make something really awesome with this, from a barn owl cloak feather to angel wings, collards, feather chokers... possibilities are as inmense as the variety of colours. In Art Creations by Shir Lee shop lists a myriad of feather kinds and usually has also wholesale packages and discounts... I have got some iridescent feathers for me :) and some feather pads which I find particularly great for gauntlets or headpieces as to use them as the trim of a cloak.
