Description As I have lots of scraps of dyed fabric left over, I realized that I had enough of a chunk of the aqua silk I dyed last week to make a pair of wings for dolls, too!

These wings are for 60cm dolls. The dressform they are pictured on was one of the final projects from my Casting and Molding class this last semester (I'll post clearer pictures of it later), and is a direct cast of a full-busted torso of a Luts 60cm Delf girl, and the form is set to the exact same height as the dolls are, too, so these are the scale they would be on your doll.

I don't have pix of it on a doll, because she's still in pieces from that project, and my boy just looked angry with the wings on~

I can see how they fit on the 45cm dolls, as well, although they might be a little large.

Anywho, these are made the same way as all of the wings I've been making - wire frame with a scroll at the base that slides into a corset (or, in this case, ribbon tied around under the bust) or some other bodice to hold them on. They can easily be rigged, however, to be on a harness. Lightweight silk makes up the wings, and unfortunately, it's really, really hard to get pictures of this light of a mottling - it is a mottle of aqua blue and a light, sky blue. I will try to get better shots with the full-sized wings coming up in the next day or two.

There are three petals per wing on this one - adding more made the frame a little bulky where they all join up. The tails at the bottom swoop down into little curlies, which are completely unintentional but I love, and plan on doing with a person-sized pair next.

I'll be able to do these in any color, as well, just like the big wings. And, if you want a pair of wings for yourself, and a pair for your doll to match, out of the same dye-lot, I can do that for you easily (and cut you a deal on them, too!)

---

Wing Details: Hand-dyed silk (light pink & hot pink), millinery wire
Approximately 14" from longest wingtip to wingtip, and 14" high (from the very top antenna to the bottom of the tails)

For sale here, on Etsy or contact me about them...

I have to pull out my 45cm girl and see if they fit - otherwise, she needs a pair of wings, too ~ I just love her to death, and now that I have green dye (and her makeup is green, and her wig is green....) I think she needs a pair of green wings

Thank you somuch!

Ah, I never had any American Girl dolls... but that would be a very good idea! Not very American, though. >>

Hehe, I know! They're incredibly small, but still float around in the wind, which I love!

Now, I think I need to make a dress for my girl, to go with them *adds to insanely huge list of stuff to make*

I had the wierd Idea of making a dollfie as a mini me so I could make cosplays for it.

That's not weird at all! Thats one of the reasons I bought the dolls that I have ~ I wanted to make cosplay for them, too

Well, that isn't *too* far away

Nickle4aPickle [2008-06-03 05:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Wow! Depending on how much they are, I might want a pair for my boy. XD I think he might actually like them!

(Maybe I'm blind, but I did not see a price anywheres...)

taeliac In reply to Nickle4aPickle [2008-06-03 16:32:43 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I put it up in my Etsy store, but if you'd like, I can custom-dye just about anything (or, make different shapes - I'm working on dying a pair that are blue and black and demon-like for my boy at the moment, because he's angsty!) for around $50 or so~

I think I'll put one of the other wigs on my boy, and see if he looks okay to get pictures with ~ maybe fix his eyes, so he's not so angry looking

Ah, I just saw them in your Etsy store... a bit out of my price range, but when I have more money, I'll definitely keep these in mind for a future purchase! ^___^

*sigh* Because I need another reason to long for one of these dolls that I really can't afford.

Seriously though, these are lovely! I loved them in the big version, but they've translated so well, and just look so good "dainty". Love them!!

I know - they're horribly addictive, but oh so cute... and too expensive! *le sigh*

Thank you! I've wanted an excuse to make things for dollies again, for quite a while - this may be the ticket to get me to sew on this scale again

I love small-scale sewing, once you get around the whole fiddly-little-pieces thing. *sigh* Maybe some day.

I know! I my form, it's grand to work with

And, you don't have to commission a damned thing. I still owe you for the time you helped us out for ACen, so lemme know what color(s) you want and everything (I'd probably need a doll temporarily to see the size and everything)

That would be awesome!! When do you work? Because, as you can well imagine, I'm just here... alone... well, some days. Chris has off tomorrow, as does Becky I believe, so... yeah! I need more wires bent, but we can all chit-chat over a cup o' tea or something like that *is a total nerd, who needs the outside world*

Thursday may work out ~ I think I have to go with becky to the DMV, but I'll see when, or if she's going on her own ~ I dunno... but, we'll do something Thursday, then, for sure

Hehe, at least you can go pick up your dolls XP
