This adorable standard size TRIPLE layer won’t last long. Each fan features 12 12″ staves in misty pink and 36 18-24″ plumes in baby pink from Fancy Feather
Standard triple
Category: Plume
White extra fluff
I should’ve taken video of these beautiful ☁️ level fans to show you all the difference photos just don’t capture. You’ll just have to Esira to hopefully catch them in action!
These fans each feature 14 of my 12″ staves in white with a 25″+ top and 18-24″ front premium plumes from Rainbow Feathers. Hand picked, these feathers add to the price but are the ultimate in length, width, fluff and luxury!
Pro tip: keep your white feathers bright by protecting them from the oil and sweat on your hands. Always practice with gloves. Cheap satin or cotton will do!
Shapeshifter web
Flirt size double layer with 26 8″ staves in satin black, two 18-24″ plumes in a dark green-teal custom and black from Rainbow Feathers. The front plate is a new “handle” that simply bolts on and off. Fans collapse as well.
This is the first embellishment project with Bold Burlesque Pasties!
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!
Rich for Maggie
Full project done for Maggie McMuffin!
These deco inspired front plate handles by my design partner Katrina to bolt on and the full set of fans. Amazing design that can be dazzled up.
The fans are ivory double plumes from Fancy Feather with natural peacock from The Feather Place on my 8″ staves.
Pro tip! To get peacock to follow the curve of your fan, you need to lightening “curve” each, individual feather stem with a curling iron on low.
Flamimgo
These flamingo wings are ready to take flight with Bizzy LeBois
Built on 28 of my 12″ aluminum staves in pretty pink, Fancy Feather did an amazing job on the two layers of ombre plumes and matching drabs. The dye colors and transitions really help make the layering so crisp and feathered wing like.
Navy double
Flirt size double layer with 24 8″ staves in misty wave blue and two 18-24″ navy plumes from Fancy Feather.
Chameleon teal
I’m naming this set done for Hazel Leigh the chameleon teal. A little blue, a little green… a lot of color in teal!
With 3 18-24″ feathers from Fancy Feather in teal across 12 12″ staves in southwest champagne, these offer great density for their size.
Black and greens
Peekaboo greens for Ginger Collins! Inside color pops are my favorite and this one has an extra layer of dynamic.
These are 4 layers! Each fan is built on 14 of my 14″ aluminum staves in fireside copper. Top 25″+ plumes and front drabs in black open to reveal two additional 20″ layers of the two greens. Mix of Fancy Feather and Rainbow Feathers
Double up extra
Done for Bryona Ashly, these are mega size! Called the double up, these are a bit extra with 16 of my 20″ staves in alloy silver, 25+” top row and double front and inside layer of 18-24 from Rainbow Feathers.
Deco upgrade
Classic deco for Lexxi Shackels. Surprise, this was an upgrade!
Working with her existing white and ivory feathers from an acrylic set, we took those off, added 12 new white plumes and then remounted everything onto the double deco middle and single decos (in Gold Bar Gold) and 4 14″ staves (in white).
Heart ❤
This is an experimental fan that has been floating around the studio for a while to be completed. It seemed like a good one to finish last night to be able to send some love to a performer affected by the hurricane.
Each fan has 8 side staves and the front heart center plate (which the feathers are attached too) with double layer 18-24″ plumes from Fancy Feather. A smidge heavier than a regular set and obviously weighted in the center, but should still be light enough for some rhinestone work. The side feathers separate a little bit more than my regular stave sets, but create a really nice flutter.
White double
The fans feature 26 regular 12″ and 2 accent aluminum staves in NEW color Class B Silver with 28 front 18-24″ plumes and top row of 25″+ in white from Fancy Feather. This is close to my Standard 3 package with the upgraded top row.
Wild purple
Another wild upgrade for Valerie Veils!
This set is really hard to describe, so just enjoy the photos and catch them in action if you can. We used some plumes from a smaller set, added more dyed to match and added the zebra pheasant all from Rainbow Feathers. There are new stave designs hidden below to make it all work together (specifically to allow the pheasant to jump between and away from the plumes).
This concept took a while for my brain to configure, test and produce. So just a reminder… if you want cool stuff like this, make sure you have 3-6 months to allow me time to make the magic happen.
Peachy peach
Still trying to capture the illusive peach color in my studio, but these lovelies landed with Esme D’Avril!
Each fan features 12 12″ staves in freckled peach, peach drabs and a double layer of peach from Fancy Feather.
Upgrade with pheasant
Check out this wild upgrade for Nina La Voix!
Nina picked up a used set of hot fans and the lady am side tails to mount on 24 12″ staves in flag red. Even all in red, the pheasant really adds quite a cool detail.
Hot pink & white
Hot pink set for Sin Silva. Each fan features 12 12″ staves in white, white drabs and a double layer of hot pink from Fancy Feather.
Lilac & light blue
Killer combo for Mz. Jenocide! Still my favorite package across any color combo. Each fan features 12 12″ staves in alloy silver, lilac drabs and a double layer of light blue Fancy Featherc.
Drab/plume 14 staves
While a double layer is usually what most performers start on, this 14 staves drab/plume combo is a really nice, light and economical option if you like two colors. Each fan features 14 12″ staves, with front dark turquoise drabs and navy plumes from Fancy Feather.
Psychedelic baubles
Gigi Bonbon was an exceptional client!!! She came with a concept and the luxury of time. She had the cream front feathers and tip dyed inside feathers. Once we set the stave design, we finalized the rest of the color palette. Using Cricut vinyl, Rainbow Feathers then dyed the top row pink to gold tip feathers to match. The staves were powder coated in a cream, all the bauble circles cut on my Cricut Maker, placed before a final blast with clear spray paint to lock them in and then assembled. The fans collapse to the center and are on a short bolt to keep the feather fluff as back as possible.
This process took 5 months. And when I put it into text, it makes sense. Amazing takes so much… planning, brain, logistics, building… time. These are definitely one of the most stellar fan designs I’ve done. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the result!!
Red double layer flirt
Sometimes just one fan is needed!
This flirt size double layer is on 11 8″ staves and a flair stave on the inside. These accent staves are something I’m playing with. They provide more surface area for rhinestoning and help protect feathers if you prefer to hold your staves away from the base or attach to your costuming. Plumes are Ferrari red from Fancy Feather.
Mint and jade triple
Now with Isabella Ivy, this set turned out amazing! The color combo and mixing is just so great.
Each fan features 12 12″ staves, double layer jade plumes with front layer mint plumes from Fancy Feather.
Firestarter
From the smoldering ash, Iva Handfull’s firestarter fans were born!
I’m just kindling. These combusted from share screen and collaborative clicking. But who doesn’t like to fan the flames of a good drama?
This was an intense glow up that we might have to pull back a little on, but the fans are currently 14 12″ staves, double layer plumes with front layer drabs. The feathers were custom dyed by Fancy Feather to 8 different dye patterns.
Ivory upgrade
This upgrade for Babraham Lincoln turned out delightful!
From a pair of static fans, we were able to salvage the blue drabs. On 24 12″ skies blue staves, we added a top row of 30″ plumes and inner row of 18-24″ plumes.
Nude Double
Feather fans captured the world’s attention because they created the illusion that their dancers were nude. When Mia Preisser asked for a set in her nude, I knew I could deliver with a custom dye.
This fluffy double layer features 12 12″ staves in gold bar gold and 48 plumes custom dyed at Rainbow Feathers.
Champagne Triple
Ain’t she sweet? This set just arrived in Australia for Constantly Peachy
This fluffy triple layer features 24 12″ staves in freckled peach and The Feather Place 18-24″ champagne plumes.
Chartreuse for Chartruice
These are impossible to scroll past, so no doubt they will help Chartruice command all the attention from any stage!
In an exquisite color, these are an example of Flirt 2 (24 8″ staves double plume) package upgraded with a tip dye on the top row.
Blue Ombre
Playing again with single-ish layers and ombre dyes. Fans feature 14 8″ staves in alloy silver, 25″ inch triple dip ombre top plumes and front drabs in a light blue from Fancy Feather.
Double layer black
These fans feature 24 aluminum staves in satin black and 48 ostrich plumes predyed black from Fancy Feather.
Black and turquoise
Playing again with single-ish layers to find a good economy size that still looks lush and rich. Fans feature 14 12″ staves in glozkin teal, 24″ inch black plumes (so nice and big) and front drabs in a custom dark turquoise from Fancy Feather
Custom large for Aurora Maur
This set is a triple plume on 14 of the 12″ staves used for each fan. We used extra large plumes for the top row and slightly smaller inside. This upgrade on the feathers from Dersh Feather is so worth it! With the predyed ivory front plumes, these really pop to life.
Custom large for Dasha Sweetwaters
These beautiful blue extra large plumes are a custom color from Rainbow Feathers joined with white plumes on 14 of my 20″ staves. Wouldn’t you like to float with this lovely cloud?
Upgrade for Ms. B LaRose
This elegant set uses 14 12″ staves for each. We upcycled the white drabs from her previous set and added two fresh layers of beige plumes from Fancy Feather. They are ready again to hit the stage.
Handfan for Aerial
This beautifully flirty prop is great for photos and performance, but also a fun design to toss on as a wristlet accessory for a truly extra night out! Available bow style with Swarovski rhinestones from Rhinestones Unlimited and mega fluff plumes custom ombre dyed at Rainbow Feathers
Upgrade for Vauxdevil
We sent a full set of her existing feathers down to Rainbow Feathers to get washed and a color picked that would dye up well over their existing color. Luckily we were able to get the vibrant ruby. Paired with a new top row of light pink, these really pack a sweet punch!
Flirt size white
Upgraded FLIRT SIZE
Every bunch of feathers has its own personality, so I’m still playing with configurations that always achieve the best results. Final size of each is about 29″ at center and just under 50″ wide. Each are on 14 8″ staves in glozkin teal, with a 24″ top white plume and custom dark turquoise from Fancy Feather.
Wave fans
I’ve had this routine in my head for ages… it’s about a gal at the beach, she gets brave and goes for a skinny dip but is washed out on a wave. She figures it out though, floats and swims with grace.
I wanted the fans to be hokey and like they are really trying to be waves. I considered a front plate and other wave structures, but decided floppy feathers were best. It’s three different layers of different blues with tip dye on 14 of the 14″ staves in navy. I also curled each of the feathers to be more extreme.
Custom for Valerie Veils
The set is on 24 12″ staves. The dark and light pinks were upcycled from another set and we added the top row of mint plumes from Fancy Feather. The front plates are a custom design and encrusted with Lux rhinestones in complimentary shades from Rhinestones Unlimited.
Vintage gold
This fan features 12 8″ staves in gold, top and middle layer plumes in beige with front drabs in vintage gold from Fancy Feather.
Conversion for Whiskey Jules
On 24 of the 12″ staves in burgundy bliss, this set features a top plume and front drab from Fancy Feather. There were a few plumes remaining, so I added them to the inside.
