On Gossamer wings: If a fairy is ready to fly!!

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!

The Changelling closet: Fashion accessories for the Fairy people!

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.

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!!

Enchanted Costumes: Eternal one of a kind fairy wings and gowns

Enchanted costumes is an american company that is well known for making the finest fairy wings.

They have a great selection of  fairy wings on their  web. Each one is meticulously hand crafted for your special event, whether it be your wedding, photography studio, or a costume ball.

  • Made with beautifully sheer iridescent and crystal organza in a wide variety of colors.
  • Ribbon covered wire frame, that can be easily adjusted for different looks.
  • Satin stitched veins to match or contrast in the highest quality industrial embroidery thread available.

Fully customizable in organza colours, we’re talking about durable wings. They’re not particularly cheap, but they worth every cent. You’ll be able to fold them up for travel, have your wings intact even after the crowdiest party…. show them off! they’re safe and well made, and you won’t regret to have a pair! (or two, or three). Enchanted costumes offer cheaper wings made of cellophane, that we previously talked about in another  previous article….But let’s face it, the expensive brand, made of organza and with embroidered veins are simply the most outstanding and lovely fairy wings you can find out there.

I am a professional performer and also visual artist and designer and I chose Enchanted costumes to manufacture the custom designs that I use in my shows. In fact she sells the “Ancient Shadows model” (see below) which has actually the name of my music album “Ancient Shadows”

Below there another model of wings that were custom made as an exclusive called “ghost fairy wings” are now a really and very pivotal part of my show, and I´m so glad she made them for me, they’re simply the most amazing wings I’ve had on. If you move gently they even flap a bit in a floating mood. Simply amazing. These were made to look a bit eerie and ghostly, and sometimes I put false spider cobweb falling from it, look so spectral behind the fog….

But she has also lovely  models that you can order in big sizes.

Tammy has also made a model of fairy wings for devotes of the movie Ever After, inspired in Cinderella’s story. The movie has become a fairy tale classic in very few years and have a nice ammount of followers, so Danielle’s Ever After Gown has become well known and recognizable option in fantasy parties that we’ll cover in detail in further articles. But for now… Aren’t this a lovely imitation of the Ever After’ Wings?

Just Breath!! Below you can se original Ever after picture and the Enchanted costume replica!
