Description In my back yard, I just had to get pictures of my latest style of wings - Punk Pixie, I have named them Another really nice shot of the wings, IMO. I think the colors just glow, and you can get some idea of what the silk looks like when the sun hits them and they seem to glow.

These wings have five petals on each wing, made from very fine, hand-dyed silk. Each petal is edged in black, which prevents them from fraying after They are attached to a wire frame, but are only wired at the top of each petal, allowing the silk to hang and flutter in the breeze.

At the base of the wings is a scroll, which allows you to wear them with any bodice that is open at your shoulder blades. Usually, a bra is enough to hold these in place, because they're so incredibly light. A corset will keep them from shifting, otherwise, a bandage right under your bra (or, around your chest if you're a guy) will help to support them. The scroll can, however, be easily converted to use straps to hold them on.

These are small enough wings that you won't poke everyone around you in the eye while wearing them. Also, the special wire they're made out of is highly resistant to kinks, so bumping into thing should not bend them unduly.

These will be for sale shortly, feel free to note me about custom colors and pricing

Information about all of the wings I have made can be found here~

Wing Details: Hand-dyed silk (blue & purple), millinery wire
Approximately 30" from longest wingtip to wingtip, and 14" high (not including the scroll)

Very pretty--both the wings and the backyard.

"(or, around your chest if you're a guy)"

I think the real issue is whether a guy will even want to admit to wearing pretty wings as such.

I'm so happy with them, too - they actually came out like I wanted (I went through three or four messed up pairs (only one pair was salvageable) before getting to these ) I'm just happy they worked out

I really like this picture, for some reason...maybe something to do with how your dress matches the tree in the background...

I know - there is something that just works about it!

Now, lets hope I can find something to wear with the pink wings, otherwise, I'll wind up defaulting to the same outfit (again ) Thank you again for taking pictures in the freezing cold!
