  • This tutorial is a sort of 'part 2', demonstrating how to paint the kind of iridescent fairy wings I taught you to make this summer, in a style like the leafy wings I made for Elsa Hosk in the 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's 'Fairytale' segment.
    These tutorials are not for children, as they involve solvent based inks and heat tools.
    You should watch the first full Iridescent Fairy Wing Tutorial before starting your project: • Fancy Fairy 2019 Iride...
    Important!
    I am teaching you techniques to create your own wings with, that does NOT give you permission to copy my original designs. Please either use an original design you created from scratch, or the nature based SVG files I provide here: fancy-fairy-wi...
    My other digital files are overlays and not to be used for wing making.

    Thank you so much for making this fantastic tutorial! Do I understand correctly that there are *two* layers of iron-on vinyl in this tutorial, but only one in the unpainted version? Does that make them discernibly heavier? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world!

    • @fancyfairyangela
      @fancyfairyangela  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, there is a layer of the iron on vinyl on the outside of the front and back, while the unpainted method I showed has just the one layer of vinyl on one side. However, you could skip the painting if you wanted and use that extra layer of vinyl for un-painted wings if you wish, to make them more sturdy. It will add a little bit more weight though, so keep that in mind if you're concerned about any drooping.

    • @fancyfairyangela
      @fancyfairyangela  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You would not be able to adhere most iridescent films together without using glue, which is something I have never tried before. You would have to look to other tutorials for that method. For mine, you need the clear vinyl. It's much less messy and also allows the vein detail to show clearly on one side

I want something that’ll still show the paint through like yours but don’t add any blues/purples like I feel like the regular iridescent would. I’ve never worked with it before and don’t wanna waste money or time if that’s the wrong thing. Please and thanks!

  • @thelibraryelf
    @thelibraryelf 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for sharing these amazing tutorials! Your wings are beautiful. I tried this one today but it was a bit of a disaster - when I put the ink onto the film and began “working it” all that happened was the ink got absorbed entirely into the stamp pad with none left on the film. I was pressing really lightly and using a dark purple so it should show up. The brand of ink I used was “the paper mill” as it’s all I could get - is this the problem? I followed everything else so not sure what I’ve done wrong...

    • @fancyfairyangela
      @fancyfairyangela  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm not familiar with Paper Mill brand, you just need to be sure it's solvent or alcohol based ink, and not water bases. If it's water based it will just come right off when you try to blend it.

    • @thelibraryelf
      @thelibraryelf 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can diy them. She has a previous video of how to make them using a cricut machine or just some gauge wire. I've been using the wire method for years and it works great. I use picture hanging wire for the local hardware store.

    • @baileymakes
      @baileymakes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I had to guess, these veins are brass or another lightweight metal. I believe most places that laser cut metal should be able to use the circuit SVGs. These appear to have a shape to be attached to a base, too.

    Could you use airbrush paint to do the painting?

    • @fancyfairyangela
      @fancyfairyangela  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You still would need to use the alcohol or solvent based paints or inks, otherwise water based paints would bead up and take forever to dry - if they would at all.
      But the Piñata colors inks say they can be used in airbrush, so give it a try if you have one! I have tried it before myself, however because my work space is in a second bedroom of the condo I'm renting, it's not practical or safe to airbrush these inks in there.
      I did try to build a makeshift ventilation system but it's such a PITA to use and set up, and I was having an issue with the inks somehow leaking out of the container's lids.
      I'm not sure why that was happening and never found an answer (maybe it had to do with the thinness of the liquid? Bad containers or lid seals?) so I kinda gave up on airbrushing with the inks and rely on vinyl prints of my digital painting now when I want to do something more specific or detailed.
