Pride fans

#DontSayGay? How else should we show that we are proud to stand with marginalized LGBTQ+ communities? Ooooh… Viola Velvet has an idea!

Viola Velvet brought this fan concept (mega extra points for using my coloring sheet like a pro) that would be used at burlesque, drag and ALL ages shows! The concept seems straight forward, but when layering I actually move feathers around quite a bit to achieve the seamless circle curve. So it was going to be tricky…

Special THANK YOU to Fancy Feather for hand picking EACH and EVERY feather for its exact position! This is not an easy task and these fans are beautiful because of their fan expertise as well.

The staves are 24 of my 12″ in silver for a bit of subtle bling.

The more we talk openly about our differences, the healthier and happier we will all be. I know Viola hopes these fans inspire audiences to feel safe and appreciated. When you see these fans on stage or a flag waving in the wind, remember that you too deserve to hold space in the light.
