Cervena Blue

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.

Conversion for Dottie

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!

Heart Pheasant

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!

Degraded Sample

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 staves and uses 140 feathers. The extra processing of course adds cost, but it’s the only way to get light colors and downplay the natural black markings.

Natural pheasant

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!

Giant natural

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

Cervena conversion

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 easy to pop off and move over. These lighter, stronger and better performance quality set has already hit the stage!

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!

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.
