I am in the business of making costume wings!

This is an example of my work. They have a 10 foot wing span, and are made entirely of real feathers - no fabric or felt or paper feathers used here! This wings are jointed to open upwards by pulling a cable attached inside the framework. The straps are nylon and adjustable, so one size fits all.

I can make these wings in many different colors, and moveable, or non-moveable. Because of the cost of the feathers, the price for a pair of wings is high, but depending on the size you would like, if the wings are moveable or not moveable, and if the frame would need to be made of wood or foam, the cost varies.

A pair of wings exactly like this (movable), or in another color, will cost $1,400, pre-paid so that I can buy the materials. For non-moving the price is $1,200. This is at very little markup from the cost of materials only - aka the feathers alone for this size are $700. I do need to make a living.

Email anni_girl_316@yahoo.com for more information or to commission a pair. They take up to three months to create for this particular size (mainly waiting for the feathers to be dyed/bleached and delivered). I am not taking commissions until June, but spots are filling up already.

I thought I replied to this but it isn't showing up. Anyhow. I can make them bigger and more lush, all the way up to $2500, and I can make them smaller and lighter all the way down to $500, and all models will move unless specified not to. Really it's up to the customer ^_^

How have you been, anyway? Haven't seen you in ages!

WOW!!! :jawdrop: :faint: I am definitely interested in commissioning you for these, based on my wing designs! :) Did you see the new pic I just posted to scraps? That one shows how large I'd like them. :)
:iconlotusii:
Can do! Working/moving? $1500 with the extra hundred for the larger size (width), extra feathers, poplar base and articulated movement. Non-moving would be $1300. Comission them and send a check three months and one week before you would like them to be shipped or picked up. ^_^ Let me know what you decide, I know you've been wanting a pair for a long time now.

How much for them if I did the feathers myself? I really just need the harness and the working armature...I was planning on making "feathers" out of fake fur, like this method, or something similar: [link]

I am sending you a private note, but generally the cost will be that of the original price, minus the $800 for feathers and two types of glue. So, $700 plus shipping, unless you plan on picking it up. You bring up a good point though - I am happy to make just the armature for those wanting to make or supply their own feathers for the frame. For an extra $20 I will cushion the back as well with an upholstered pad to make it easier on your back and shoulders. Also, if you order just the frame it will take alot less time to make - two to three weeks. It's the feathers - buying, shipping, dying and gluing - that take so long.

Bleh, my mother's cancer has gotten worse, I'm going into gaming/design and in hopefully a few years I'll be a storyboardist for something or other. :)

Other than that I am fine! :D

How've you been?

Please do ^_^ I'll be happy to make you a smaller pair that is more affordable, if you wish. My smaller pairs run for $500 non-articulated, and take much less time to make. Mind you small isn't the small you see on eBay and etsy. Small is a little less than half the size of these suckers - the extra large size on eBay. Just send me a sketch of what kind of position and shape you would like if you are interested! ^_^
