Deco fountain

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 further!

This project took several months from design, testing, cutting, coating, feathering, assembling and shipping. It’s a one-of-a-kind, meaning this is Eva’s design and it will not be recreated for any other performer!

Upgrade for Ruby

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!

Upgraded pheasant

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.

Natural Golden

Set features 8 scallop staves in fireside copper, 368 natural tiered level Golden pheasant feathers layered on front an back. Each fan is 30″ at center and 60″ wide. The set took over 12 hours to assemble!

An audaciously colorful bird, Golden feathers have this stunning color, speckles and bright red/ orange flashes depending on the length. Raised as a poultry variety with rich eggs, the feathers are molted several times. This is the first set I’ve done featuring these and there is no reason to ever dye them!

Iconic upgrade

You’re looking into future of stave design! A much sparklier version just hit the stage with Frankie Fictitious at Viva Las Vegas this past weekend!! She built them, so just like me, you have to live for the event photos and video clips.

Sure, I’ve done some cool designs before, but to take things further I started working with another creative. You’ll learn more about Katrina soon, but this first iconic set through production together was one heck of a kickoff. While I’ll always guide and manage the construction aspects, she’s layering in design flourish I’d never be able to achieve.

Thanks to Frankie for her trust in me for this project!

Zebra upgrade

ANTICI-PATION! These will hit the stage again for the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

This set was a conversion and upgrade. The orginal set was on the bulky acrylic and seemed very sparse. The fans are now on 8 scallop staves in flag red with 175 (we added 80 that blend in so seamlessly) center tail lady am pheasant feathers in red from ZJomes.

Big reds for Kalani Kokonuts

When icon Kalaniko konuts asked for me to build her a set of big red pheasant fans, of course it was a very exciting day!

This set is built on 8 of my V-staves in lollipop red and has a total of 200 35-40″ and 100 25-30″ lady ams. That’s 300 feathers! Each fan is about 45″ tall at center and 87″ across at the widest point. The staves can be overlapped to create a more narrow or denser fan for the space or routine. Although they are very light and can be bolted open for greater confidence when doing a lot of super fast movements, extra holes at two overlapping points allow for extra hold using just a twist tie.
