MTO Ellette Iridescent Fairy Wings in your choice of color with copper or black veins
Share
A late style from the 2016 Summer Platinum Edition, the Ellette fairy wings. Wings shown in the main photo were done in iridescent clear Diamond Fire film with black veins, measuring 41 inches wide. Inspired loosely by wasp and bee wings, they look as if they could belong to a real insect but are in fact a fantasy design.
This is for made-to-order wings in your choice of film and either copper or black veins, please allow at least 6 weeks or more for production & delivery.
International orders may take much longer due to longer delivery time.
Please either include a note with your order or email me after it's placed to let me know your color preference.
Available film colors are: Clear Diamond Fire, clear Ultraviolet, clear Opal, Lilac, Absinthe, Dark Crystal, Poison Apple, Autumn Night, Rose Gold, Patina Green, Berry, Yellow, Spiked Punch, and Satin White.
Available vein colors are: Black or Copper
The frame is constructed of a .040" thick cut aluminum sheet that is powder coated, and laminated with an iridescent film and clear vinyl.
The wing panels can be individually gently bent and posed to give them a life-like appearance.
*Simple assembly required
Panels attach with included standard screw bolts and nuts. The upper screw is finished on the outer side with a domed acorn nut, which looks like a flower stamen if flowers are attached to hide the hardware.
I will leave the flowers up to the customer for the meantime, so you can match your outfit. I just use faux flowers torn off from the plastic stem & punched an 1/8" hole to go over the screw. Then, screw the acorn cap on.
The closeups show an example on the back of a different set of wings, though the attachments and brace are the same and the width at the bottom of the brace has increased for more strength.
You can wear your wings in resting position by removing the bottom screw if you find yourself in a packed crowd. I suggest removing it while the wings are off due to the small parts - a magnet may be helpful for catching the bolt after removal and a small wrench and / or screw driver may come in handy.
Alternatively they can now be assembled with included rubber washers to make them fully adjustable - just grab the panel you want to move and rotate it into position, no un-screwing needed!!

The wing panels can be removed for easy transport, or to change up the look by removing or swapping the antennae, upper panel, and lower panels.
They can be worn either by tucking them into the back of any very snug & sturdy bodice or corset, or by attaching your own ribbon or elastic by slipping it through the slots on the back brace.
Unfortunately due to the pandemic, I've had issues accessing the clear elastic they used to come with, however since I've increased the detail and therefore the weight slightly you may want to use something stronger than clear elastic anyway.
Due to political interference causing delays with the US Post Office, there may be delivery delays beyond my control.
