Silk tie-dye fans and reinforced birch wood ribs.
These fans started as an experiment. I really didn’t think they would fly to well while I was creating them. Upon initial test flights I was proven wrong. They quickly became my favorite go to pair. They call to me. I am drawn to them and we dance so beautifully together.

Inspired and driven by the life and death of his flag daddy Richard Ballou in 2002, Faerie Daddy has been making flags and poi since 1995 and fans since 2002. His design process was greatly advanced by the fan making workshop given by Larry Reigel at the 2005 National Flag & Fan Symposium in NYC.

Wings of the Faerie
Embellished & Enchanted polyester/fae-gossamer fans on custom cut reinforced birchwood fan fibs
19” length folded / 7.8 oz weight per fan
Dance your way through faerie circles and beyond with these fae wing fans. The most ambitious set of fans I’ve created to date. Designed and constructed with my evolved methods and latest advances in weapons of mass delight. Both fans are layered with twin sails. One trimmed in pleated silver metallic. The other with silvered charm beading. Hand-sewn to custom cut reinforced birch wood ribs covered in metallic/holographic decor.
These instruments of dance in the right hands will allow for ease of traversing the faerie veil at will. Each fan is enhanced with a dual 11 point prismatic emitter array that can stun, dazzle, or charm mortals and most magical creatures level 3 and under.
Fans come with lifetime repair/support, pocketed pouch sheath, and spare ribs, anchors, & emitters
