These wings came together like a memory of snorkling in the La Jolla underwater.
They are intentionally mismatched, with Garibaldi fish, kelp, shifting color, and flashes of rainbow moving across the silk in different ways on each side. Nothing is perfectly mirrored, and that is part of what makes them feel alive.
La Jolla has always felt like a place where the ocean is full of color if you slow down enough to notice it. Bright orange Garibaldi move through green kelp. Light changes constantly across the surface. Blue deepens into turquoise, then flashes gold, then disappears again. Everything is moving, but somehow the whole scene can still feel peaceful.
That is the feeling behind La Jolla Dream.
These wings are less about symmetry and more about atmosphere. They hold the sense of looking into clear water and seeing several things at once: fish, kelp, color, sunlight, movement, reflections.
The mismatched sides make them feel almost like two different moments from the same place.
One side catches one part of the dream.
The other catches another.
Together, they become a kind of ocean memory.
Something colorful.
Something peaceful.
Something a little surreal.
Something that feels like La Jolla.
La Jolla Dream is an offering to the kind of peace that comes from being surrounded by beauty you cannot control.
The ocean does not arrange itself into perfect symmetry.
Fish move where they want.
Kelp bends with the current.
Light breaks apart.
Color appears and disappears.
Nothing holds still long enough to become perfect.
And somehow that is part of the peace.
These wings are an invitation to move the same way.
Let each side be different.
Let one arm move before the other.
Let the silk overlap in unexpected ways.
Let the fish disappear into the folds and return.
Let the rainbows flash and vanish.
Let the kelp move through the air as if it were still underwater.
You do not have to make every movement match.
You do not have to make every part of yourself line up neatly.
You are allowed to be layered.
You are allowed to be asymmetrical.
You are allowed to contain several colors, several moods, several directions at once.
Let the wings open wide.
Let them move independently.
Let them become one landscape anyway.
La Jolla Dream is a reminder that harmony does not always come from sameness.
Sometimes it comes from allowing everything to move together exactly as it is.
___________
These magical oceanic silk angel wings are handmade for dance, flow arts, worship, ritual, play, photography, performance and becoming your most luminous ocean self.
Each pair is created in San Diego, California using a sun print process and fresh kelp or other sea botanicals ethically harvested, composited then composted from the shores of the Pacific. I make every piece by hand with sunlight, seawater, silk, and naturally washed-ashore kelp. No two prints will ever be exactly alike.
Because I print with real fresh kelp, every order begins with a custom beach trip. Seaweed decomposes quickly, so I harvest it fresh and look for beautiful, mostly intact fronds during high tide. Then I bring it home, prepare the silk, create the exposure, rinse and process the piece, clean up the studio, and carefully pack it for its journey to you.
Each set takes roughly a day and a half of hands-on work, plus travel time, materials, cleanup, packaging, and the many small business costs behind making art sustainably. Your purchase supports an independent artist making wearable ocean magic one piece at a time.
This is a wet sun print artwork, so you may see organic marks, tonal variation, soft edges, water textures, and other beautiful creative imperfections. These are not flaws. They are part of the handmade process and the reason every silk feels alive and unique.
Please treat your silk wings with care. Keep them away from dusty or dirty environments, rough surfaces, and anything that may snag or stain the fabric.
If they get dirty wash only with non alkaline silk soap. Not detergent. Heritage is a good brand. The color will change if washed with alkaline. If the color begins to change, rinse in a solution of water and vinegar to bring back the intensity of the blue.
Printed in the USA. Currently shipped within the USA only.
If you would like, you may leave a wish, prayer, blessing, intention, or a little good juju in your order notes. I will hold it in my heart while I make your piece, in whatever way feels appropriate and comfortable to you.
Dance with them. Pray with them. Play with them. Let the ocean move through you.

SPECS
Lightweight Silk Wings
These silk wings are designed to feel airy, fluid, and responsive in motion. The lightweight fabric creates a wide, dramatic shape for dance, flow arts, ritual, worship, photography, and performance without feeling heavy in your hands.
Each set weighs approximately 60 g / 2.1 oz.
-Full wingspan: 180 cm / 70 in
-Wing length: 90 cm / 35 in
The silk is printed by hand with my original kelp cyanotype process, so the blue-and-white design shifts beautifully as the fabric moves through light.
Flexible, Travel-Friendly Rods
Each set comes with lightweight fiberglass rods that are strong, flexible, and easy to carry. The rods detach for packing and travel, then assemble quickly when you are ready to dance.
Thoughtful Construction
The silk sleeves that hold the rods are reinforced in the areas that receive the most movement and pressure. Strong stitching and finished edges help the wings hold up through regular use while reducing fraying.
Because every pair is individually printed with real kelp and sunlight, variations in print placement, water texture, blue tone, and organic markings are part of the one-of-a-kind artwork.
Care Instructions
Gently steam before use to release wrinkles and help the silk move freely.
Only wash with detergent free silk laundry soap. Handwash. Little leftovers of detergent in washing machine can brown cyanotype print. Keep away from alkaline sprays etc. Keep the wings away from water, humidity, rain, wet sand, dusty environments, and damp storage. Store them completely dry in a protective bag between uses.
These are delicate silk artworks made for movement. Handle them with care, and they will remain beautiful for many dances.
