Wow. I would have loved butterfly wings as a kid. Such a gift to a child's imagination.

This is adorable, I will forward it onto people who might be interested in paying you Royalties! Or could consult you on getting it manufactured. Do you know Diane Brush or her daughter Marie Claire. They both are or were designing children's clothes for major manufacturer's or under their own label. Marie Claire I believe has her own label and is a consultant. :-)

There is something about that light pink/lilac (?) + electric blue combo that is so joyous and also immediately brings to mind your illustration work. Thank you for sharing!

These are so beautiful and I would buy a set of wings for every member of my family. Keep us posted if they make it to manufacturing! Or if you’re taking Etsy orders tee hee.

This is amazing.

I made cardboard wings for Quinn when she was a little younger than 6. We drew all over the cardboard with colored pencils and they turned out beautifully. They got a lot of use, but eventually wore out.

I love the idea of a little set of these… I would know you designed them just by the colors and pattern.💗💗

Carson, these wings are truly magical. I love the idea of a butterfly party - I have an idea! I wish I could send one of my flapping butterflies, but you could make them yourself. They are symmetrical prints that you cut out and attach to clothespins - when you pinch the pin they flap their wings! Kids (and adults) love them. I wish your niece a wonderful birthday <3
