Wings: Sex Pixie and Anarchy

I just posted two pairs of newly photographed fairy wings on DeviantArt and Etsy!

My friends Andrea and Blair modeled for us and Paige took the photos. Paige's DA

As you can see, she's great. She took many beautiful photos which she is now in the process of editing and manipulating them like she does. I snagged a couple from her where the wings are more prominent to use for my listings. Here is how they appear, complete with descriptions:


Anarchy Wings


My Anarchy wings were inspired by the punk aesthetic of the seventies and the Sex Pistols. They were built over a sturdy metal armature and measure twenty inches from back to tip. They are constructed of scraps of hand-torched faux leopard fur and destroyed red plaid that are being held together by safety pins. The lower parts of the wings are crafted of jeweler’s wire and ‘citronella’ Angelina Fusible Film. They are an extremely iridescent material that shimmers in the light and reflects all sorts of interesting colors over the intricate wire “veins” embedded inside the wings. My wings come complete with clear elastic bra straps for wearing them backpack-style over clothing. The straps are adjustable and also removable; just unhook them from the attached loops when you would like to tuck the back brace of the wings into a corset or bra for a more realistic look. My wings are flexible and durable enough to bend into a shape that properly contours your back and then stay that way. Also feel free to pose the wings upright and apart for a perkier look or tuck them down and together into a resting position for rock concerts, clubs, or eating in restaurants. *Also available in a purple, with purple and orange plaid, purple leopard fur, and orangey-pink 'raspberry sparkle' Angelina fusible film. Will post a listing when I get photos.



Sex Pixie Wings


These wings were made for a true sex kitten to wear, inspired by burlesque, New York Doll-type sleaze, and vintage lingerie. Fashioned from sturdy metal anchor wire and armature wire, they measure twenty-four inches from back to tip. My Sex Pixie wings are constructed hand-torched faux leather that have been corset-laced on both sides with hot pink satin ribbon. On the other side of the lacing is pale pink lace that has been thoughtfully shredded by my sister’s Jack Russell terrier, a true artist of destruction. When you hold the wings up to the light you can see the fine glittery dark pink plastic ‘veins’ that have been embedded within the lace. The lower sections of the wings are quite flexible and crafted from pinup-inspired sheer polka dot glitter fabric. These wings are trimmed with an assortment of recycled satin garters and loads of antique lace. They bear the signature kiss of Quarley on the upper segment of the left wing. Look carefully and you will find a several hooks and fasteners from antique garter belts dangling from the edges. My wings come complete with clear elastic bra straps for wearing them backpack-style over clothing. The straps are adjustable and also removable; just unhook them from the attached loops when you would like to tuck the back brace of the wings into a corset or bra for a more realistic look. My wings are flexible and durable enough to bend into a shape that properly contours your back and then stay that way. Also feel free to pose the wings upright and apart for a perkier look or tuck them down and together into a resting position for rock concerts, clubs, or eating in restaurants.
