Jezebelle Mix
Only love for this stellar color combination fine for Jezebelle Red. Only thing better is their sharp and swishy sway movement! Built on my 8 of my scallop staves — which create a more seamless circle — in fireside copper, we’ve got a mix of 200 25-35″+ (in colors #40/#41 and #89) sidetails from @happinesscathy.

Double conversion
Seeing double? There are two fan conversions in this post! XX sent over the first one and then the second one about a month later to ensure they always had a set available for their performances. We moved the feathers over to a 24 set of 12″ staves in almond and added a fresh top …
Chocolate Showboy
These dramatic beauties just arrived with Jonah | Chocolate Showboy in Paris! As a feather negotiator, I listen to the requests, but have to talk it over with the feathers and then let the performer know if they’ll comply. This is true for dye colors, layering and structural elements. Thrilled with results of our negotiations …
Maple Rose custom
Today seems like a good day to break the internet with Maple Rose fabulous pheasant fan project! First… a reminder. Awesome stuff like this takes time!!

Gold on gold
Done for Jezebelle Red With feathers being a natural product, sometimes you have to listen to what they want to do. Originally planning for the 8″ flirt staves, these quills on these plumes were just too bulky. So I moved them up to the 12″ standard just mounting the top feather one position lower. This …
Eros fan
Dasha Sweetwaters provided the sketch for the double sided Eros – the mischievous god of love, also known as Cupid – golden plates. The fluffy fan has 13 12″ staves in flag red, with a double layer of premium wide 25″ plumes in bright red from Rainbow Feathers.

Upgrade from bamboo
Really glad I got to help Miss Mina Murray with this lovely upgrade! She had a set on bamboo for many, many years. They were a lovely row of single long plumes that were worth saving. As ostrich feathers age, they tend to get softer and silkier in their texture and movement. We moved them …

Bright yellow boas
This set is 24 6ply boas on 24 24″ staves. They were a miss ply order that were redyed so they are a bit of a steal if the color is for you. They are fright lemon yellow and the base to golden rod tips. Because of the thinner ply, I tried a wrapping technique …
Raquel ombre
This set, left in Las Vegas with Raquel Reed, was an achievement in ombre with plumes! Thanks to Raquel for her patience as we worked through the dye, staves and assembly to achieve this design.

Commissioned by Eva Devore, these just arrived to her in Australia! Pulling from deco inspiration, the custom, articulating stave set (in Gold Bar) was designed by Katrina. I tested the structure, laid out the attachment points to accommodate (140 zebra 30-40″ in color #41 zJones) and assembled. I know Eva has plans to embellish these …

Violet
Each fan for this set featured 12 12″ staves in galaxy purple with a front drab, 12 25″ and 8 18-24″ plumes in violet from @fancyfeathercom. It’s like a smidge less than a full triple, but really nice density!
Orange ombre
Ombre orange beauties done for the vibrant Kasey Kupcake! Kasey requested a set that was dynamic with an ombre from light to dark and featured her signature color. There are so many variables and since I’m still inventing new styles with dye patterns, attachment layering and stave options, sometimes (even for me) it’s difficult to …

Mint rebuild
Ruby Spencer was an early adopter of my staves having purchased and built on the raw, spray painted versions years ago. I refreshed her set by stripping the paint, powder coating and reassembling in a way that layers the feathers in a better way. They are stage ready again!
