Peach boas

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! These are built on 24 24″ staves in freckled peach and use 40″ all ostrich boas hand made and dyed by Fancy Feather.

Boa fans are such a huge investment and performance commitment. But a good boa handler is a show stopper! My staves are the strongest, lightest and most durable for these types of fans, and while they are still hefty to wield, you’ll have an easier time and more fun doing it!

Peach Conversion

Just a simple conversion with some really great feathers for Carson St. Clair. Her double layer on the 8″ staves condensed things a bit for a dense, lush set in this light color. Plushiest peach!

Converting to my aluminum staves still gets you lighter fans, slimmer grip, easier open/close, less damage to your feathers and potentially larger size. Consider a conversion to refresh your fan, when adding more feathers or switching to a specialty design.
