EL Wire Wings

We include these pieces as examples of our past work, and to help explain the difference between LEDs and EL wire, but we no longer offer EL wire as an option for custom installations. 

medium-sized wings with rainbow EL wire and twinkling LEDs

These wings were made as part of a set, to wear with a spiral light bra and hotpants. The overall dimensions are about 28" tall by 30" wide, although they were designed to be folded in half for shipping (~28" x 14" x 5").

These wings are even larger, extending lower at the bottom edge.  They were made for a client attending a rainforest-themed masquerade party (her date wore the gorilla costume shown on another page). Coral-pink, yellow, lime-green, blue, and violet electroluminescent (EL) wire outline various sections of the wings, with a few loops and twists mixed in to the design. Twinkling color-coordinated LEDs are scattered throughout the wings.

other examples

We've also included some photos of wings with pink and yellow EL wire outlines, and a set with white EL wire outlines that was worn with a matching dress, as part of a child's angel costume.
