Colette Convertible Iridescent "Pix" Fairy Wings in Clear Blush with Black veins
Share
The Colette Pix wings are an original design from my Pixish Collection, also a convertible style of the Ethereal collection.
Inspired by dragonflies and the pix fairy wings in Carnival Row, these wings feature a vinyl layer of intricate thin veining under the metal frame to give the illusion it's all one structure.
These were laminated in the new specialty Blush iridescent film that is clear with a light blue undertone, and hot pink / orange / yellow / green reflection, and black veins. The wingspan across is roughly 42 inches wide in their standard static position.
It's constructed of separate upper and lower panels, layered slightly for a more realistic look and are more easily posed by gently bending the panels at the angle you wish.
*Simple assembly required
Panels are constructed separately and 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 photo of only the brace shows the latest brace shape in black that comes with the wings that now has a thicker bar across the bottom, but yours will match your wing's vein color. The last closeup shows an example of the older version back brace on the back of a different set of wings so you can see how it would attach with ribbon or elastic as well as how you can decorate it with faux flowers.
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.
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.
