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!
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, …
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 …

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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
Rescued these feathers for Cervena Fox from broken staves. We did these so fast so she could get back out to preforming with them, I forgot to write down the specs! But the set features 8 scallop staves and 140+ center tails feathers. Luckily the feathers were wired on the orginal staves, so they were …
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!
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 …
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) …
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 …
