Winter Pheasant
This mondo set recently landed with @wintersinclair! Able to use it with or without the front plate layered on my handled V- staves. Can’t wait to see how the vintage flowers come to life with her painting and stoning. This set is max size, swish and lux look!
Valerie Swirl
@valerieveils was actually an early adopter of my front plate idea on her ostrich fans. So you might recognize a bit of this motif, however this more structural, rather than purely decorative, plate is getting added onto her pheasant fans. These recently landed to her, so watch her page for when they hit the stage! …
Raven Pheasant
This beautiful raven black set will be hitting the stage soon with @roularoulette! Although the feathers are black, their exquisite patterning and iridescent qualities still play through. The set feathers 80 35″+ and 100 27-35″ lady am feathers across 12 of my flute staves.
Oopsie Grey
Set features 200 35″+ lady am center tails (lightened and then dyed grey) across V-stave set.
Cervena Natural
All 6 feet of natural beauty just landed with @cervenafox! The set feathers 180 35″+ lady am feathers across 8 of my scallop staves. I have an extremely small stash of these feathers and am the first one called when my supplier gets new stock in. So you’ll see a few more throughout the year, …
Green Center Tails
Set features 12 flute staves in vermilion 170 lady am center tail pheasant feathers. Size is about 38″+ at center. These two sets may be the only I make this year featuring the lady am center tails. I hoarded these feathers when my supplier was thankfully able to secure some for the project I previously …
Vermilion Center Tails
Set features 10 flute staves in vermilion 170 lady am center tail pheasant feathers. Size is about 38″+ at center. These two sets may be the only I make this year featuring the lady am center tails. I hoarded these feathers when my supplier was thankfully able to secure some for the project I previously …
Adele Wolf
Follow @adelewolf for more on the journey of her new routine that feature these fans. The flight path from idea to stage is not always straight and easy. It takes a lot of persistence and commitment to your vision! This set is features lady am center tails custom dyed in 3 colors on my V-staves.
Roses for Chloe
Fans are an expression on stage and these done for @chloethecocaine have significant meaning. Chloe started working on this concept with her mum, the last one before her passing. I particularly love roses (my garden is full of them) because they seem to explode with all the beauty the world can make, but have thorns …
Cervena Blue
Last year was truly a blur! This is yet another set done for @cervenafox that I apparently forgot to post. The set feathers 180 35″+ lady am feathers in blue and 80 short in black across 8 of my scallop staves. New ordering process for pheasant is available on my site at DonnaTouch.com/pheasant and hoping …
Rebel Green
Life got busy and forgot to post this gorgeous set done for @rebel_rose_revue! On my V-stave staves in black, this set features 250 35″+ lady am pheasant feathers in two shades of green.
Jolie Upgrade
@missjoliepapillon is my poster child of conversions and upgrades! Not sure how I forgot to post this set, but I completed the assembly for her last year. She already had my flute staves for a while and had done a DIY. Already a big set, she aquire more feathers that fit her costuming theme. She …
Natural center tails
Don’t fall too hard in lust for these as they were done last year for @steph_sugar_! I can’t even get these feathers (hopefully) for a couple more months. On my V-stave staves in black, this set features 130 lady am center tail pheasant feathers just their beautiful, natural color.
Natural Beauty
300 lady am on 14 flute staves Set features 14 flute staves in fireside copper, 100 40″+ lady am and 200 25-35″ lady am pheasant feathers. Size is about 46″ at center and 92″ wide.
Conversion for Dottie
If I had to name this conversion for @dottiemayduitt, I’d call it bright and happy! Luckily, Dottie had the 200 lady am sidetails (a mix of 27-30″ and then 30″+). This was a perfect amount to do across 8 scallop staves. I used the shorter feathers on the front so they’d add to the density …
Heart Pheasant
Get in the sultry mood with this set done for @jean_heart5678! I was lucky to secure the 160 35″+ and 80 short lady am sidetails (red is darker in-person) from @happinesscathy late last year. If you’ve been following along, there is quite the feather shortage right now. I’ve been able to secure a few more …
Pink Conversion
If I had to name this conversion for @dottiemayduitt, I’d call it bright and happy! Luckily, Dottie had the 200 lady am sidetails (a mix of 27-30″ and then 30″+). This was a perfect amount to do across 8 scallop staves. I used the shorter feathers on the front so they’d add to the density …
Venus Fly Trap
This set was imagined by @thejensenloren as a unique fan take on a venus fly trap! The emerald and red plumes are from @fancyfeathercom, the venery reeves from @thefeatherplace and at the core are my 3-prong staves. The movement on these is light and swift. Perfect for attracting and devouring any audience!
Pheasant Conversion
Catching up on some project highlights from last year still. @colette.collerette was actually in Chicago and was able to bring me her pheasant feathers that she needed on new staves. It was a lovely meeting on my back deck in the late summer when I think I was 8 months prego. Pop goes the baby …
Two Tone Pheasant
This is the last commission that went out to @friskywhispers just before baby. Phew! This set features 8 scallop staves with 100 35″+ lady am sidetails from @happinesscathy. The natural markings of the feathers really set off this dramatic set!
Dynamic Red
Got this set out to @pyrrhasutraofficial just in time for a big event! This set features 12 flute staves with 200 27-35″ lady am sidetails in mix of 3 different reds from @happinesscathy. Unfortunately my photo setup doesn’t do a great job of capturing the variation, but the different shades catch the light slightly different …
Tout d’Lou
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 …
Mega Pheasant
Mega set across 14 flute staves (they are not so bright red) with 200 lady am sidetails in red and natural. Each fan is about 42″ at center and almost 80″ wide.
Degraded Sample
Incredibly unique pheasant set I did specifically to show off how we can achieve a light or pastel color. These are 30-35″ zebra feathers that had to be carefully degraded at #RainbowFeathers. The cream are what they look like after that process and the light teal is after dying. This set is on 6 scallop …
Oopsie Pheasant
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!
Natural pheasant
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 …
Custom pheasant set
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 …
Burgundy Rebuild
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 …
Large green
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!
Front plate pheasant
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 …
Giant natural
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 …
Natural pheasant
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.
Deco pheasant
This deco inspired set was snagged quickly by Samson Night! Head to his profile for a fun picture that had to be taken minutes after they arrived. The amazing front plate design was done by Katrina Monreal. In fireside copper, it’s backed with glitter vinyl. Three additional staves hold the 27-35″ lady am sidetails from …
Starter pheasant
Great for smaller stages and can be upgraded later. Both sets feature about 90 27-35″ lady am sidetails from @happinesscathy on 6 of my scallop staves.
Swoosh sample
The design of the double layered stave structure was done by katrina Monreal. The plate and peekaboo staves can easily be rhinestoned. The set has 120 zebra 30-35″ from @happinesscathy.
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.
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!! This set took 5 months from commission to delivery. I know I make this stuff look easy, but truly custom work requires time for all the pieces to come …
