Before and after |
Maria has been with Fairyland for 16 years but has been a fantasy fan her whole life. She writes, "I grew up with movies like 'Labyrinth,' 'Legend,' and 'Dark Crystal,' so making and wearing wings was a natural life progression."
She based the fairy's new wings on a much larger set she made for herself years ago. Even though they were based on a current design, it still took her around five hours to design, cut, and glue them into a smaller, puppet-size shape.
The Blue Fairy performs at Fairyland in wings Maria made. |
And, no, they aren't actually made with glass. Maria uses a flexible vinyl to give that illusion. She'll also add lights, for an additional cost, to any wings you order through her Etsy shop.
