Some fairies shed their wings twice a year...right after the grand balls that precede their moving between their summer homes and winter homes. The deck their wings out in beautiful fairy crafted finery, dance the night away and shed them. By the morning they have grown a shiny new pair! I was fortunate enough in my travels to come upon the very spot where the Fair Folk had just completed their revels. Gorgeous glimmering wings lay everywhere strewn along the ground. I picked up as many as I could carry. Each wing has been carefully preserved in resin. It seems the FOlk used brass and Swarovski crystal to decorate their wings. I have added a brass chain and some glass and lucite beads as accents. The chain is 17 inches long with an extender. May you wear them and soar through life in beautiful fairy flight!
