Spring Wings

 

"Cielo" White Angel Wings available at TruWings

It's spring time now, and even though it's still rainy, love is in the air. So, I'm now concentrating on producing white wings for brides, flower girls and those who simply choose to frolic in white wings because one might as well wear white until Labor Day and one might as well wear it in style. 

For starters I've recently completed a pair of white angel wings. No faux feathers on this set though; those are still in the making and will soon be revealed.

Halloween Wings

My favorite pair yet.

Fairy Wings: More & More

I'm gearing up to hopefully sell many pairs of wings this Halloween season through my etsy shop TruWings. In other news I'm also in the process of updated my portfolio website.

Never Ending Fairy Wings

Yup, they just keep coming. More and More coming available soon.

This pair now available on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/daniellehurleydesign

Faerieworlds: Fire Fairy

FaerieWorld

I've a friend at work who runs a festival in Eugene OR : FaerieWorld. I plan on getting all decked out and going for at least a day. That is - if I can find the time to finish the costume. At the very least I'll have a great big pair of wings to show off. The wings above are about 3 1/2 feet tall, the the whole ensemble will be about 6 ft.

Fairy Wings: So Many!

I've been making wings, so many wings. The first three pair posted to my etsy store, TruWings, last week have been sold and these two are now available. (They're on sale this week only though so they're going fast) I've about 7 more in the making though. Hopefully they will start showing up online next week.

Fairy Wings: On Etsy!

I've now begun to sell small fairy wings on my store: TruWings by DanielleHurleyDesign on Etsy!

Fairy Wings: Got It...Just About

I'm fairly certain I've got it worked out the way I want now, just need some minor adjustments. I've figured out how to make the wings perfectly symmetrical, having a metallic iridescence when front-lit and a vibrant jewel tone glow when back-lit. The only thing is I'm only really finding iridescent cello in green/pink or blue/pink. It would be ideal to find a silver toned cello so that it reflects pure white light but also allows light to pass through when back-lit.

Fairy Wings: Good Blots

Now this is more like it. I’ve figured out how to successfully blot the painted layers on the fairy wings – so long as I’m not going for detail. Turns out they look better when the paint is really wet and blurry since there is so much detailed being put into the veining instead.

Even this blot turned out to work just fine. I thought it was a failure; that there wasn’t enough alcohol in the wash and the colors were too harshly separated. But when I added a layer of veining over it everything came together.

I’ve also been finding that if I don’t plan anything out but just work freehand and do everything on the fly then, the pieces turn out much more interesting. This is true for both the paint wash layer and the veining.
