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 are digitally hand painted in the 'Water Lily' colors I've been fond of lately, using a stylus in Photoshop. The painted print layer is laminated onto the clear Diamond Fire film.

The first set of these were made for a customer's special order. Now, since I ran into a problem with one of the Water Lily panels having a small hair trapped in the film (I blame the cat!) I replaced that panel for their order but kept the one with the hair intact in case there's interest in a discounted set that's a duplicate. I'd much rather offer another set at a discount than tear off all that vinyl and waste material so if you don't mind this small imperfection that will only be noticed up close you'll save a little money on these. 

In this listing you'll see 2 photos of the panel not yet cut out with the trapped hair, it's more visible at some angles than others and is located just outside of that small white / clear oval near the tip of the upper panel. I'll make the rest of the wing set if this sells.

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.
