Pansy Iridescent Convertible Fairy Wings in 'Absinthe & Amethyst' with Black Veins, Ready to Ship

The Pansy design is from the 2018 Ethereal Collection of convertible fairy wings. The panels can be positioned in either an 'up' or a resting 'down' position without compromising the metal with harsh bending.
This design is inspired by butterfly wings, with a hint of art nouveau or art deco in the vein design.
These have been digitally hand painted by me using a stylus in Photoshop. I was originally inspired by both Buckeye and Peacock butterflies for the first version I made in warm colors, and now converted it into greens with purple, fuchsia & black accents! The painted print layer is laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film.
These wings actually have an extra layer of vinyl protecting the printed layer, so they are even more durable with 3 layers of vinyl compared to the single color wings which usually have just one.
I still can't promise they'll survive an underwater shoot though!
The wingspan from tip to tip at the widest point measures roughly 39 inches wide and about 24 inches from top to bottom.
*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 closeup (last photo) shows an example on the back of a different set of wings with faux flowers attached, and the 2nd to last photo shows the updated brace design with a thicker area across the bottom for more sturdiness. Your brace will match your wings' vein color.
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!!

You can also see a very quick demo of how to wear your wings starting from opening the package: https://youtube.com/shorts/SmTxtqjXkVo?feature=share
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.
The frame is constructed of a .040" thick cut aluminum sheet that has been powder coated, and laminated with an iridescent film and clear vinyl.
