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.
Set features 200 35″+ lady am center tails (lightened and then dyed grey) across V-stave set.
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, but each set is of course very special!
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 to have feather inventory available again in the coming months as they are seasonal.
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.
@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 sent everything over to me for a rebuild.
Especially for my pheasant sets, on my site I make recommendations to help you get your set now and plan for expanding later. Avoid planned obsolescence and invest in material that will shine with you for years to come!
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.
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 without breaking up the look of the longer feathers. These are ready again to pop off any stage!
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 bundles for this year, but if you’ve already got your pheasant fans… consider yourself very lucky!

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!
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 making them appear more dense and dynamic than a single color would.
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!
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.
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!
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 better setup after the move, but this is the first set to go out that was completely built here. Small progress!
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!
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 design. The set doesn’t open/close because of the design complexity, but feels very secure when bolted open. Can’t wait to see how Lucy blings these out!
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 dancers but are big enough to be separated into 4 total fans.
These fans will see more of the world on tour in just a few months than I’ve traveled to in my lifetime! Thankful for the recommendation from @asiaoharaland and the opportunity with @vossevents
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.
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 @happinesscathy. The staves do collapse behind the front plate for easier transport.
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.
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.
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 for this set!
Built on my 8″ flute staves — the most compact option for pheasant for travel — across the 14 staves we’ve got 160 35″+ (in natural and color #89) with about 100 black sidetails from @happinesscathy.
This upgrade was done for Layna Emerald. We added two flute staves to the existing set with 80 feathers, recoated all the staves in gold bar and then I rebuilt them using 150 sidetails (40 27-35″ and 110 35″+ side tails) in color #47 from @happinesscathy. That’s 240 total across this set!
Enjoy this rebuilt upgrade done for Ruby Mimosa!
Her orginal set with ringneck feathers. Well I acquired those back from her (future cool project with them coming soon), we added two flute staves, recoated all the staves in fireside copper and then I rebuilt them using 180 sidetails (90 27-35″ and 90 35″+ side tails) in color #89 from @happinesscathy. These are ready to hit the stage in an even bigger way for years to come!
This stellar set was an upgraded rebuild done for Miss Isabelle Marie!
One of my earlier conversions, Isabelle’s orginal set was blue short pheasant and long light pink. If you scroll my insta, you’ll find it! She popped off all her feathers and worked directly with Rainbow Feathers to acquire more long ones and redye the whole batch. I think reassembled the whole set back on her existing flute staves.
These moody fans just arrived in Canada for Ms Grace Ventura
The fans are on 6 scallop staves in gloss black featuring 70 10-19″ front black and 160 mix of 23-35″+ blood (#24) and wine (#20) red lady am sidetail feathers.
These beauties just arrived to Egypt Blaque Knyle!
The fans feature 60 27-35″ and 30 35″+ lady am sidetail feathers not dyed so these are the natural patterning on 6 of my scallop staves in fireside copper. The package is similar to upgraded length of Sidetail 1.
These exquisite feathers didn’t come out quite the right color for a project, but they were too gorgeous to send back!
The fans feature 8 scallop staves in gold bar with applique and rhinestone embellishments, 90 27-35″ and 90 35″+ lady am side tails in gold (color #85). The package is similar to upgraded length of Sidetail 9.
The fans feature 170 lady am side tail feathers in a range of 27-40″ not dyed so these are the natural patterning. The feathers are layered double sided across 6 of my V staves in copper.
6 scallop staves in gloss black with 80 side tail lady am pheasant feathers in black.
