Feather fan feathers

Ostrich, turkey, marabou, and chandelle feathers are used to make boas, and some of the resulting lengths of these feather decorations are heavier than others. It depends on which feathers are used. The heaviest boas are made from large, flat turkey feathers, while very light ones are made from the same bird, but a smaller, lighter feather, the chandelle. Marabou can be used in feather fans. Scant, lightweight boas made from marabou down barely make their presence known as they settle around the neck, except perhaps for their light tickle and colorful beauty; and another very fluffy but much larger boa is made from the same ostrich feathers used to create the dramatic feather fan that dancers sweep this way and that, carrying with their elegant, graceful movements the attention of many intrigued audience members.

Guess what: Chandelle boas are available in fifteen colors at ContinentalFeathers.com, and these are the finest quality too; they'll hold up to the most ardent swing or flip, the most charming two-step. Gold, hot pink, hot pink with black tips, Kelly green, lavender, lime green, Mardi Gras mix, and orange are some of the hues that will fluff up and set apart your dance costume or Mardi Gras outfit. Nothing is more fun than the random gesture accentuated with fancy feather boa fashion. Young children, too, love to engage in great swaths of musical drama covered in these feathery scarves and holding, perhaps, a luscious feather fan. Add a plate of crackers and maybe some cranberry juice, perhaps a safe pair of sparkly high heels, and you have the ingredients for a wildly fun afternoon for your little entertainers.
