Welcome to The Crooked Feather!

Thank you for your visit to The Crooked Feather! We get lots of interest in our products and services, ranging from help with making your own all the way to buying a full custom set made by us! Sadly, these items take a very long time to make, so we can only take on so many orders. Please see the various options below to get started. Each option is a little different and can be a bit complicated, so please read everything before heading to our contact page. We get a little loony when questions can be answered on our front page, How to Order page or FAQ. :D Thank you!

How to Order

Ordering can seem a touch complicated if you are new to our process. We do not carry stock, and as such we can’t really post X number of sets at a certain size for sale. We open and close sales as slots in our schedule open up and we complete wings, and close them again once we are booked no more than 6 months out. However, even if we are not taking orders, if you would like to know pricing or a quote for a set for a future purchase, you can still look at those listings, play around with the settings, and see what price to expect when sales go back online. These are left up for you as examples of our work so that you can get a good idea of what will fit into your budget.

Please head to our Commission Pricing Page to purchase and Kits and Full sets.

If you want a better shot at slot in our schedule you can message me about custom orders on the Comission Order Inquery contact page. The more info you give me the better, and the more informed you are, the faster the process will go. Please check the Commission Pricing Page to get an idea of pricing. Prototypes will cost about 25% more than normal wings and will take longer to produce. Generally I only put you on the wait list to be fulfilled ahead of public sales if it is an order I think will be fun and interesting to do. If it is a common set, like a generic white set of wings, you will need to wait for a slot to open.

Kits

Kits are one of the few things we sell all the time. How fast we can get them out depends on how “put together” you want your kit, and how busy we are, and how quickly we can get parts in. However we guarantee you will get them way faster than a full set. This is a great option for those of you that want to enter a competition where you need to make your own costume (kits are generally allowed) or those of you on a budget. Along with my tutorials (which you can find on my Patreon) , these kits can help you make a lovely set of your own at a fraction of the cost. You will find these kits for sale under Commission Pricing. Here are some Basic Instructions on how to assemble kits (updates underway).

Prototypes and custom orders

TCF makes a number of different kinds of products. Flapping fairy wings are just one example of something we made at the request of a customer. Some prototypes take an extremely long time to figure out. As such, we rarely take orders for new modalities, but we do put them on a request list and will contact you if and when we figure it out. Prototypes will NEVER be made on demand or with wish dates in mind. Sadly, the process is never as simple as we think it should be, and as a result, are often late.

If you would like to have me design and make you something that is not on our list and would like me to dedicate time to it ASAP, we will take payments for parts and time, however we cant know the final cost. At minimum, a new product will cost 25% more than normal sets of a similar size if the material costs are similar due to the extra time and materials needed to make and test an all new product. Prototypes are also new and one of a kind, so issues may arise after shipment. You can always send these back for re-design and fixing. Before it is finished, should you decide you no longer want the set, you can forfeit it for resale. You will be refunded the sale price of the final product AFTER it sells, but may loose out on additional prototyping costs paid because of the custom nature of prototypes.

Tutorials

For your benefit I have created some tutorials to help you make your own wings! You can find them on my Patreon. For measurements, parts lists, early access to my tutorials, and individual help with your project I recommend joining my Patreon. This means more direct individualized attention to you, and money for me to concentrate more on creating new and exciting projects and tutorials. Please note that these are for personal use only

You can also find some patterns for making your own wings on our Commission Pricing page.

Wing Patterns

You can also find some patterns for making your own wings on our Commission Pricing page. These can be printed at a retail print shop (such as Kinko’s) so that they are the full size of your wing set. Please keep in mind that these designs are still copyright protected and are intended for individual use only. Please see our FAQ for more information on copyright.
