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 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 posted. However, this year, they are completely sold out globally. Especially with carnivale, festivals and fashion demands at an all time high post pandemic, the feather industry is not likely to be able to meet demand for years as farmers that moved on to other industries are not likely to return.
Faux options are in the works, but to be honest… I’m up against the same competition for getting the material feathers. Companies focused on supplying thousands to large scale festivals don’t yet have capacity or methods for servicing artists that need a couple hundred. But stay tuned… I’m persistent!

@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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Define showstopper… just wait until these hit the stage with Cat Bolitho
On 14 if my 8″ flute staves in gold metallic, these feature 225 side tail lady am pheasant feathers in 3 shades of teal.
