Roses for Chloe

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 that can literally slice you open. They are the greatest metaphor for the lives we live. Happy to have been able to help create these in honor of someone so special to Chloe.

Chloe credits @missmaplerose and @frankiefictitious for their help and inspiration. 

This piece took a team to create. 
@katrina.inprogress created the vector. @coating.specialties_3311 did the powder coating. 
@donna.touch made the vinyl templates, V-staves and assembly. 
@letterslinesanddesigns_jross laid down the incredible airbrush work.

Natural center tails

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.

Pheasant Conversion

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 and then I was able to get back to this conversion!

The set features long black zebra tails, bleached ringneck and short black ringneck on my V-staves in gold.

Front plate pheasant

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 design. The set doesn’t open/close because of the design complexity, but feels very secure when bolted open. Can’t wait to see how Lucy blings these out!

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.
