Fan Questions

[tsuj510]

I'm wondering about fans.

As far as Gourd Dance is considered, do they have to be the loose style, or will a wing fan suffice?

I did my research and think my search function is not working.

Thanks for your input!

yes

I have used both...
Right now I use a Bald Eagle wing fan but am in the process of making a loose feather fan again...

Good to know.

I saw both in equal at the last dance.

What is your personal favorite style and why?

Yer the man, Josiah! Thanks again.

I use either and its just what I feel at the time just like my shaker I have several and use each at different times just when the mood strikes me...

My favorite fan is the right wing tip of a red tail hawk that I found on the road, the rest of the bird was no where to be seen! I looked for about 15 minutes up and down the road, so it must have stuck to the grill of a rig and fallen off!
I mounted this wing tip on the left leg of a young wolf. No other decoration on it at all, plain and simple, very light too! I now make all my fans and shakers with wolf legs, skin minus all the bones! Looks different and eye catching.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Shaking a leg"


I crack myself up LOL...

I never thought of it that way!!!! Grandmother told me there would be days like this!!! Now I see what she means to share and use the gifts that Creator puts in my path!
Thanks for making my day!

Now that is something I have never seen at a Gourd Dance
A Red Tail Hawk attached to the Left Leg of a Wolf!!

I have a loose feather fan, wings and a flat fan. IF, I'm outside and it is hot to very hot I will use my wing to help stay cool when I fan myself. Inside dances I may use my loose fan or the flat fan if it gets warm inside.

Hey Josiah, I used to use deer legs for handles, taking the marrow out and then drying it and then cutting the groove for the feathers to hold in place.
I found that it was easier to use wolf legs, I can get most of the bones out and then I have a nice hollow sleeve that is easy and fast to dry!
Darn thing is once I start using the fan, along comes someone that wants it, so I need to make a new one! Now I have just this wee fan and it is toooooooo humble for the average person and that is fine by me!
