A lot of awesome is packed into this commission for @tout.dlou!
Tout d’Lou came to me with a hand fan design from a comic book that she hoped could work as a base for pheasant fans. I looped in my design partner @katrina.inprogress to get the design and proportions of the front overlay staves. I then adapted my V-stave as the back stave for the feather attachment. The shape of the design makes for a really clean, hidden quill final look!
The final set uses 6 doubled staves (front gold bar and back fireside copper) and 150 27-35″ sidetails in color #74 from @happinesscathy (which literally look like gold). Although the result is clean and simple, a lot of experience and planning goes into new concepts like this!
