I built these fans in spite of being dropped for a bulk order that would’ve delivered today. It was for a returning large show client (so I trusted it would come through), extremely quick turn that required much coordination with my suppliers and prepaying for a lot of material to pull it off. After jumping …
The fans feature 148 35″+ lady amherst feathers from @happinesscathy on 12 flute staves. What makes these beauties an oopsie-project? I had ordered the wrong feather color for another project. Only solution is really to build a fun set of fans!
A red hot conversion for @msgidgetbardot! Not only was I able to meet Gidget while in Nashville (btw… some of the best kept fans I’ve seen over all the years of doing conversions and upgrades), I enjoyed the insider scoop of how unique the scene and venues are! A straight forward project for lighter lift …
Celestial inspiration assembled for @originallattedah! Latte bought the feathers a while back, but they are now ready to explode on stage. This set features 24 12″ black staves, top white plumes and a row of front and inside drabs. Super unique color combination that was a blast to assemble!
Color swap! @cervenafox dropped off blue plumes to #RainbowFeathers to have them redyed this stunning blood color. Not saying color swaps are always possible, but this was definitely a great success! This set features 28 12″ black staves, top 25″ plume and lower 18-20″ plume row. It’s a nice and dense double with premium fluff!
Sometimes you try something new and while it’s amazing, it doesn’t achieve the goal. However, these waterfall boa fans turned out looking like waterfalls! These are built on 24 24″ staves and use 40″ all ostrich boas beautifully ombre tier dyed @fancyfeathercom. In addition to my signature size, NEW features of my boa fans: 1. …
This beautiful blue was actually an oopsie-coat as in the stave color wasn’t quite right for another project. So I asked #RainbowFeathers to match dye to the staves. This phenomenal color is kinda a Robin’s egg blue but has some aqua hues that come out in natural light. So expect these to be somewhat of …
Set features 28 12″ staves, 28 single row premium plumes and 84 peacock feathers (with a few extras of both types). The plumes were an oopsie-dye (so not quite the green needed for another project) from #RainbowFeathers, but too lovely to let go. It was a great opportunity to pair them with stem dyed peacock …

These stunners just arrived with @lily_datura_dancer! Ah peacock… you’re as irresistibly beautiful as you are finicky to work with. The set features 26 12″ staves with double premium plumes from #RainbowFeathers and around 80 stem dyed peacock feathers from @thefeatherplace. The art gold nouveau front plate with cutouts really pops against the dark fluff. The …
These waterfall fans are ready to hit the stage with @nikki_moxiegold_marvin! Moxie had a lower level boa set originally that I was able to salvage, redye and sell as an upcycle. We worked through a couple of options before settling on the ombre dip. Very similar to her previous pair in terms of color and …
These natural beauties just arrived to @rheagenk! This set features 100 27-35″ lady am pheasant feathers across 6 scallop staves in heavy black metallic. A great flirty size for just getting started incorporating pheasant, some quick whipping moves and small venues. Unfortunately my build recap photos aren’t going to be great until we have things …
When @chanelledemai came to me and asked if I could recreate her acrylic pheasant staves out of metal, I initially said no. I don’t copy anyone’s work, I even guide performers to unique color combos when they ask for something similar to something I’ve already created. But she proved to me that she in fact …
If these uncorn beauties done for @bryona_ashly don’t brighten your heart, nothing will! These are built on 24 24″ staves and use 40″ all ostrich boas beautifully ombre tier dyed @fancyfeathercom. In addition to my signature size, NEW features of my boa fans: 1. Reinforced outer stave for one handed weilding (which is definitely trending …
These lovely fluffs were a custom creation for @cherrylacreme! Each fan uses 14 14″ staves, with two layers of dip dyed 25″+ wide and a front layer of shorter solid custom dyed plumes #RainbowFeathers. They are a spring dream!
These feathers are also continuing their journey on with @gaea_lady! Fans are just one of her many mastered props that she literally can hypnotize any audience with. With me from nearly the start, these feathers have been mounted on every bare, painted and now powder coated version of my metal staves. Their custom color will …
My feathers are continuing their performance journey on to new stages with @bellasincle! If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I don’t get attached to material. I regularly sell off my own, personal props if I’ve moved on from the routine. But these fans represent a lot! — These pheasant were the first …
These petite cuties (about 22″ at center and 40″ across) just kind of came together! I had extra layer of white that I needed to use. Just like other dye batch colors, white, even bleached white, has tone variations. I also happen to have almond staves that I had done for a project that fell …
Simply lovely! Matching Flirt 2 in DonnaTouch.com/ostrich, this flirt size double layer has 24 8″ staves in Class B Silver (kind of a sparkle metallic with a pink hue) and two 18-24″ baby pink from @fancyfeathercom
This very large set will be swooshing across the stage with Ginger Watson soon! This set is on 14 of my flute staves (option that collapses down the most narrow for travel) in sparkle green and 250 35″+ lady am feathers in color 49 from @happinesscathy. They turned out quite grand!
Still catching up, these beauties just made it to the lovely Jenna Beth! Each fan uses 14 14″ staves, with two layers of 25″+ wide custom dyed lilac plumes from #RainbowFeathers and mint front layer from @thefeatherplace. Do they look massively grand and fluffy? Cause they totally are!
Finally making it to the otherside of the world landing in the Czech Republic with @angelica_g.lamour! Each fan feathers a double deco in the center, four side single decos and 14″ staves in between. The saffron really pops off the 30 custom plumes (#RainbowFeathers) while the plumes play off the stave shape.
This set matches a Flirt 2. Flirt size double layer with 24 8″ staves in pretty pink and two 18-24″ bright pink from @fancyfeathercom
Fans are a petite flirt at about 20″ at center and 40″ across, on 24 8″ staves in silver, single large plume and drab each, with white felt stars. Continuing the process of evaluating, refurbishing and selling of my own personal fans, my American Flag set needs to find a new act. I used the …
This set matches a Standard 3 (with an upgrade on the plumes) package. Each fan uses 14 12″ staves with front and inside plumes sized 18-24″ and top row sized 25″ from Rainbow Feathers. Truly me favorite double layer configuration!
This set was a long time in the making for Lucy Luxe! The set features 300 35″+ lady am pheasant feathers (color #3 @happinesscathy) on a custom structure. The gloss black middle component was designed by her husband! I was able to adjust my V-staves handle cutouts in peacock pink to snuggle right into the …
Bra is 34C with removable cups and S/M undies done by @canova_studio. Dress is vintage (no tags) like a size 4-6 adjustable and was professionally altered to have the swoop back by @abunchofsheep. There are hooks on the halter and that come over the bustle. The dress goes down but the bustle stays on its …
This was a personal costume of mine that I let go. Bra is 34C with removable cups and S/M undies done by @canova_studio. Dress is vintage (no tags) like a size 4-6 adjustable and was professionally altered to have the swoop back by @abunchofsheep. There are hooks on the halter and that come over the …
Inspired by a note from Lady Ginger (a survivor herself), fan art seemed appropriate for two special Chicago Burlesque performers — Hot Tawdry and Ramona Mourir — that have kicked cancer. As each fan the flame of their own resilience to give cancer the bird, they’ve also helped others facing similar diagnosis (as well as …
Hope your mood today matches these fluffs done for La Luna Doll! This set matches the Level Up 4 package at DonnaTouch.com/ostrich When going with a triple plume, the touch longer staves gives all the feathers more room to breath and play. Each fan uses 14 14″ staves with front and inside plumes sized 18-23″ …
A perfect combination for LadyLily La Douce! The art nouveau stave set really does pop so well with the colors she picked! The staves are in a new color called heavy black metallic (it’s a gloss black with silver flake) and the lilac feathers (they photographed way more purple, but they are a true lilac …
A little cream in your coffee? Ariel Helvetica will add the sugar! I have new favorites all the time and adding this conversion and upgrade to the list! Starting with a set of hot fans, we moved the feathers to 28 14″ staves in copper jacket adding a full row and a half of custom …
These giants should be hitting the @werqtheworld international tour this week! Each of the two fans are about 4ft at center and 6ft across. Using 20 flute staves (stave style that colapses the most for travel) in copper jacket, there are 480 35″+ natural lady am feathers mounted from @happinesscathy. These are designed for two …
I took over from Dirty Little Flirt on this conversion/upgrade! The DIY kits are a great option if you are super crafty with wire (like from jewelery arts) or other small detailed work, but also have a great amount of patience for laying out large patterns. This set upgrade had a lot going on which …
Striking natural set done for Kitty KaPowww! This set closely matches Sidetail 4 on DonnaTouch.com/pheasant but we are able to upgrade the length on the feathers to 35″+. The set features 104 feathers across 8 scallop staves in copper jacket. A great set to hit the stage with now and easily upgrade if needed later.
A blast of pink fun done for Katana! We said goodbye to the awful, oversized, heavy and brittle hot fans staves and converted these to 24 12″ staves in pretty pink. To upgrade, we added a top row of 25″+ custom dyed Rainbow Feathers plumes. Bright, light and with an easier hand hold, this type …
Custom front plates done for Cervena Fox’s pheasant! When Cervena’s acrylic staves broke, we needed to get her back on stage with her fans quickly! You can check out the results of the conversion earlier in my feed. Then, we took some time to work with my creative Katrina Monreal design a piece inspired by …
Dona for Audrey Love, the set features 26 heart staves. The double layer of all back mounted plumes were hand picked and custom dyed by #RainbowFeathers. The color matches the stave red and the hearts add a subtly pop.
Cutie flirty flirt conversion done for Sally Marvel. She had enough small wing feathers — more durable and have the same feather texture as plumes, but are shorter with a more narrow shape — to do a double layer across 24 staves. Using the 8″, the set is pretty compact and dense. But this is …
This peachy peach set flew across the ocean landing with Emme Hayward! If you’ve followed my work for a while you might spot the difference with these. Rather than doing the regular one sided attachment, I added a twist around the boa. Since I’m stretching the boa as I wrap it, no length is lost! …
