That's what I like to call a happy mistake. I don't know what they were supposed to look like but they look amazing the way they are. I love the light showing around the edges and the inner sections.
RIGHT!? I just logged in to write that. Amazing work and thank you very much for the tutorial. I'll try to use this technique to replicate Rapunzel's glowing hair. :)
Absolutely gorgeous!! I think the light leak was a happy accident, and the way you made it work to your advantage was genius! I think using the light to accentuate some of the lines throughout the wing is such a good idea, especially if it's night time and dark out, and you might otherwise not be able to see all of the details! Thanks so much for this tutorial, I hope now I can apply some fiber optics to my future costumes!
Amazing tutorial, the wings look great and it inspired me to be a butterfly for Halloween. But I will also like to mention and recommend wearing a mask for anyone who decides to sand the fibers, as they are glass and can cause irritation to the lungs.
Wow, you know you need a dress to go with these wings, something flowy, maybe it could have fibre optics on it as well, underneath a sheer layer. Oh the possibilities.
@@LadyofFaewood I was googling Fiber optic fabric, when I found you on the side videos on youTube. :)) (Can buy the stuff on etsy...pricey, but cool, with controllers)
Bravo. Try a test to see if you warm the pvc Mylar your using a heat gun, it may allow you to shrink some wrinkles or form shapes like a feather shape. I built effects for Disney and universal for three years. Check out safety wire it’s stainless steel, there is techniques for aircraft that makes it fine and then you can paint epoxy glue to connect the lashing to them. There is a fishing line called dyneenma. That allows you to lash things together then coat with epoxy makes a nearly unbreakable bond. I had to make ultra light weight effects for the light parade, I created a new version of the jelly fish that rotate and dance all lit up (took a third of the weight out of the existing ones) there is fiberglass rod that can be use to create actuating rods and stiffer parts and hinges to make the wings move more or have more control. Nice video. Purple Scotch bright will make more light come out of the fiber optics too. There is a plastic called Kydex that can be formed into very comfortable parts like your back brace. Use a fan it cuts with a jig saw and smoothes with sand paper. Barge cement stinks but it’s a contact adhesive (you put it on both items let dry for twenty minutes then press together and it’s permanent.) works on shoes great for foam and fabric on rubber, and plastics. Will watch for more.
Wow such great information thank you so much! I'll look into those suggestions for sure 😊 you are so lucky to be able to create for Disney and universal! What a great experience 😊
Thank you for sharing the link to the plastic PVC stuff you used! I just finished my pair of wings. I used leather instead of wire, and I used the PVC you showed. Everyone I showed loves them. I gotta make more!
@@LadyofFaewood A RUclipsr named RobertoVitucciLeatherPatterns does leather work wings that shows how. I edited both your patterns to make my own once I knew the basics of what to do. It was actually easier to do than expected. Also, I used eyelets in the base of the wings, so there's no bar going down the back of a corset or straps around the arms. The wings sew into the back of a corset using ribbon or cording. It was so fun making them, I'm making more to sell in my Etsy.
These are the most amazing wings! They are brilliant! Well done! Although I have now decided it would be easier to grow my own wings than copy this 😂 I still watched the whole thing!!
This is beautiful! I want to make giant feather plumage and it needs to be able to fold into a suitcase. Could one bend this enough with the wire you use that it could be reformed once out of suitcase? Thank you for this creative video.
The main reason why I watched this video was for the effect that turned out to be a happy "mistake" as Bob Ross would say. I really love the accidental light framing/light bleeding of the wing details. I honestly thought it was on purpose and I wanted to recreate the light effect. Thank you for the tutorial and for being so detailed in your making of these wings.
These wings are phenomenal!!! "No mistakes, just happy accidents" Bob Ross. I think it was a happy accident having the bleed out and then you sanding a bit to accentuate it. If we had not have seen what you went through with the bleed out, we would have no idea that final look was not intentional. Just brilliant!! Have you gotten to wear them out any where yet? These wings must be seen by many!!! Thank you for sharing your process!!! I love these wings!!!
Loved the video and how the wings turned out!! “Leaning into a mistake” is a great way to approach the situation when things don’t go as expected. I looked at the ants on a melon website, not sure if your mentioned it but you purchased the whip for the fiber optics?
would it work to put the fiber optics between the wing layer and say a clear contact paper. no glue needed?? and just litely sand where you want the light to come through while putting the fibers on the contact paper. you could any design you wanted that way. maybe?
I've definitely considered if that would work, but I haven't tried it as yet. I think it has the potential to work well though 😊 If anyone tried that out I'd love to know how it goes 😊
I'm so glad you posted this video. This looks amazing. I was looking into fiber optics for a potential halloween costume (jellyfish!) but...honestly, it'd be a nice finishing touch and seeing how testy fiber optics can be, after watching your video, I'm not sure sure I would be able to use them the way I want to lol. Beautiful wings though! Job well done!
How did you put them on? From my understanding the straps are for the arm but how would the wings work? I. Trying to make some wings very similar but I’m kinda confused lol
Would you recommend using PVC for regular wings that don’t light up? I like the shiny iridescent look but worried about using fire & seeing the wrinkles that comes with using cellophane so I’m thinking maybe PVC is a good alternative. Thank you, love your wings! 😍🧚🏾♀️
Obviously the light effect makes these wings absolutely .... *_b r e a t h taking_* (seriously, those are the most gorgeous wings I've ever seen on here ✨💜✨) BUT what I wanted to comment on was how happy I am that I've finally found someone who STITCHES the wings instead of gluing them!! I was so so discouraged before with my project, and I was afraid stitching them would somewhat be unprofessional of me, but now I have so much more confidence. I'd rather make one pair of really durable wings instead of making new floppy ones every single time I need wings. I love you, thank you for all this lovely content and your amazing energy!! 🤗✨💕💕 #rolemodel
The brown paper reminds me of old fashioned dress/clothing patterns. I think this might be a better idea than the cardboard in that respect. :) I'm surprised tape wouldn't pull off the iridescence. Personally, I don't think most people will notice the stitches with that amount of shine from the iridescence. These are gorgeous wings! I think you've started on your way from costume designer to adding effects creator to your resume/CV. I so wish I could have stopped you from using the CA glue. It kind of eats through the fiber optics, ack! You deserve a hug for going through that. I wonder if you could have used a glue gel or if that would have been too clumpy. I never think of epoxy because I haven't made anything needing that strong of a hold yet. Even with the CA glue mishap, I think they almost look more natural than they might have otherwise. This is very nice work! :)
I don't know anything about the glue you used. That said, I think it created a very happy accident with the outlines. Only problem I can think of, with what you said about the glue, it might cause accelerated fragility to the materials. Excellent wings!!!
How did you sew the wire and plastic together (is there a specific stitch name, I'm just trying to understand)? These look WAY easier to me than the cellophane wings that scare me. I just might be making myself some wings...
I dont know what the name of the stitch would be actually, but I would do one straight stitch alongside the wire, go across to the other side of the wire and do another straight stitch..if that makes sense, it's hard to describe stitches. I didn't want a zigzag stitch because I wanted the stitches to be in line with the wire so instead I was doing alternating straight stitches on either side of the wire. They definitely take time to make but I'm so happy with the outcome 😊
I haven't added everything up but these are definitely not budget wings lol ... main costs are the fiber optics and the pvc .. there are some cheaper fiber optic torches on Amazon but I don't know how good they are. Bonus of these wings is you can remove the torch from these and use the torch for other fiber optic projects ☺
From flow toy to fairy wing. That's actually pretty genius. Although to my understanding the main difference in these types of whips is how well they, well, flow. So unless one wants the specific features of that whip you linked I'm pretty sure a much cheaper one would do.
I'm glad you like them 😊 unfortunately they are not available to rent but you are welcome to try making a pair yourself or I have a video on making organza wings if you want something a bit easier 😊
I make fairy reborns and my wings have always been a hit but I needed some better structure. I use Angelina fantasy film which is expensive. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me to use regular art cellophane. These are the most magnificent wings I have seen and as you know there are enough fairy wing tutorials to keep one viewing for months. Yours is the only one I am responding to Please don't think I am being flirtatious. I actually am a 68yo grandmother. You are quite stunningly beautiful. Do you ever do make up tutorials? Sorry I digress... Would these fiber optic lites come smaller? Or do you think the ones you used are an ok size for these reborns. They are the shape and size of a regular baby
Omg fairy reborns sound amazing 😍 thank you, I do occasionally post makeup videos 😊 I have definitely seen shorter optic fibres out there, but not always with a light source included. If you find one at the price point you are after you can trim the fibres as short as you like. I am using irridecent pvc fabric for these wings, but you could use cellophane, I'm just not sure how it holds up with fibre optics 😊
That's what I like to call a happy mistake. I don't know what they were supposed to look like but they look amazing the way they are. I love the light showing around the edges and the inner sections.
I think the light leak worked in your favor, and blending it out with the sandpaper was genius!!! Thanks for the helpful tutorial. C:
Thank you 😘 so glad it was helpful ☺
RIGHT!? I just logged in to write that. Amazing work and thank you very much for the tutorial. I'll try to use this technique to replicate Rapunzel's glowing hair. :)

This is amazing. So labor intensive. But I feel like in a dark room, anyone would follow you like moths to a flame!
I really like the wing-making technique you use, it’s a unique take and it yields awesome results!

Watch your channel explode with this one. LOVE IT!

I must say I am tempted to get another set of fiber optics 😊

@@bubblerings oh cool, I'd so love to make a fibre optic gown 😍 I feel like I'll have to give it a try one day 😊
They came out so beautiful, the bleeding looks amazing!!❤❤❤
You're awesome! Beautiful work. The bleeding adds so much to the overall fiber optics display, especially in the dark. Great tutorial.
Dang love it, light bleeding seems to be a blessing in disguise lol looks amazing
Oh I don’t know how I missed this! Glorious. I’m going to forward this to a dear friend who daughter might just be eager to try them. Beautiful!❤️
Awesome :) I hope she enjoys making the wings :)

Wow your eye color with your make up, really pops
Very cool. Next time buy PVC shower curtain with the hologram effect and you could save some money. The light leaking turned great in the end.!
OMG! I don't know what to say to such an amount of beauty! I am speechless 😍🤩🥰
These are DARLING 😮 before we begin... I HOPE I CAN FINALLY USE MY ART & GLOW POWDER 😊

Starting at about 3:10 the Brian Froud artwork you're looking at is the same art he used to make his tarot deck. It's awesome.

I would gladly pay 700-1000 for these they are really worth that much… time and effort… and outstanding result
I have iridescent beads I would probably add to my wings just for the sparkle factor.
oooo my goodness...this is awesome. You're making these on your own,,,,U R one talented w0man...

Omg! I'm really in love with this job!😍 well done!👌

Would fiber optic application also work with cellophane instead of vinyl?
Looks so beautifull 😍
brilliant! love it!

I really like the look of pvc for wings and it's really sturdy, so if you are happy to pay the extra for pvc I do prefer it 😊
You are a genius wanna do it !
What size are your wings? How much organza did you use?
this is so beautiful, thank you for sharing
Will people be able to see these during the day at all??
I love your wings😍
Omg I'm in love with these wings. Do you sell them?

Will u make another ine for me pls😩💕
wow!
