When icon Kalaniko konuts asked for me to build her a set of big red pheasant fans, of course it was a very exciting day!
This set is built on 8 of my V-staves in lollipop red and has a total of 200 35-40″ and 100 25-30″ lady ams. That’s 300 feathers! Each fan is about 45″ tall at center and 87″ across at the widest point. The staves can be overlapped to create a more narrow or denser fan for the space or routine. Although they are very light and can be bolted open for greater confidence when doing a lot of super fast movements, extra holes at two overlapping points allow for extra hold using just a twist tie.
