Elvina G "Blue Dream" Gilded Iridescent Convertible Fairy Wings with Swarovski Crystals
Share
The Elvina design gets paired with the bottom panels from the 2016 Guinevere wings for a brand new look, and gets the extra fancy treatment with a digitally hand painted butterfly-esque blue pattern on the iridescent Satin White film, gilded with blue/silver/gold colored metal foil, and further embellished with a scattering of Swarovski crystals near the tips! Veins are Candy Coat Gold with mottled blue fading towards the edges..
From the new Ethereal Collection of convertible fairy wings, these can be positioned in either an 'up' or a resting 'down' position without compromising the metal with harsh bending.
The wingspan from tip to tip at the widest point measures roughly 43 inches wide.
I unfortunately forgot to take closeup photos of the details but I did take some KiraKira video of them that you can see here: https://youtu.be/lWE9WrCxrlw
You may want to take extra care with these, don't make them rough and tumble wings. The foil may be prone to scratching if anything sharp rubs it, and since applying a sealant would have changed the glossiness and contrast between the foil and the vinyl I prefer not to use that. Once you get them, you can try spraying a clear sealant but it's possible it might affect the foil color so be forewarned.
Simple assembly required. Panels attach with included standard screw bolts and nuts. The upper pan head 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 connected area.
I'm leaving it up to the customer to add the little flowers to the base with your choice of color.
I just use faux flowers from the local Michaels store, torn off from the plastic stem and punched a 1/8" hole to go over the screw end. Then, screw the acorn cap on.
Easy peasy! The closeups show the back of a different set of wings with black veins and brace, though the attachments and brace are exactly the same design.
Now, 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, as doing so while they are being worn is tricky and you may drop & lose the screw. Not something to attempt on the dance floor but you're welcome to try - a magnet may be helpful for catching the bolt after removal and a small wrench and / or screw driver may come in handy.
It's now possible to remove all the wing panels for easy transport, or any panels you don't want to wear that day - the antennae, upper panel, and lower panels can each be added or removed.
All Fancy Fairy wings are cut from a .040" thick lightweight yet sturdy aluminum sheet frame that's been powder coated and encased in iridescent film and vinyl laminate. They can be worn with the included clear elastic straps although ribbon or stronger elastic is recommended, or tucked into any snug bodice, bra strap or corset for even more comfort. They can be gently bent and posed to give them an even more life-like appearance!
