ON March 11, 2009, The United States Fish and Wild life raided many Native American communities because FIVE individuals were killing birds of prey and selling feathers. Due to the nature of these raids, I do require the you have permits from the US Fish &Wildlife with your feathers when you place an order. This goes with any order dealing with protected birds of preys or protected migratory birds. You don’t have to have permits for Turkey, macaws, impeyans, capricales, parrots, pheasants and cockatoos.
COMPLETED FEATHER FAN
Consider the fact that these fans take up to 45 plus hours of work to complete a fan that has 11 tails in it, which does not include the time to find the tails, and pairing them up! You have to consider the amount of time it takes to collect the feathers and matching up pairs of feathers to make a fan. Once the fans has perfect set, all paired up, then they have to be washed, steamed, preened, and flatted to get them ready for the fan. Then extender are put on the feather and the layout work to starts. The designing of the feather work & beadwork take lots of time, since most of these are custom made. The designs are acquired through meditation and consultation with the person ordering the fan. The artist has to consult with the owner, gather infomation about how the fan is going to be made, for what purpose the fan is going to be put together, then and only then does the labor work start. The labor takes over 45 hours to put the whole fan together. Also, consider the cost of the material. Lastly, consider the quality, these are extremely detailed, and extremely high quality feather fans and beadwork! The work you see speaks for itself.
Prices vary due to how rare the feathers are, and due to the demand for them. At times, some of these feathers are very hard to get, so time maybe a big factor in getting some of these feathers. It also takes a lots of time, and many feathers to make perfect matches for flat fans Will take orders on Macaws, impeyans, turkeys, etc. NO MIGRATORY BIRD!
If you provide, or send your own feathers, the price is $60.00 per feather. Multiply the number of feathers in the fan by $60.00. For example, if there are 12 feathers that you want in a fan, 12 feathers X $60.00 = $720.00. The price will include the washing, steaming, preening, beaded handle, thread work, feather work, and putting the whole fan together. All fans are one of a kind, worked to perfection, and designed with style and elegance.
If the artist provides the feathers, the prices are listed below. These prices below are for finished feather fans, ready to be use or displayed.

FINISHED GOURD RATTLE
These gourd rattles are used in the Gourd Dancing, Peyote Ceremonies, devotions, and different ceremonies among Native American. The price of the
gourd rattles are usually consistent, but sometimes varies according to the uniqueness of the gourd rattle. Very hard and dense wood are the best wood to use for the handles, so the artist suggests the diamond wood (laminated wood), and snakewood to be the best choice. It improve the sound, and prolongs the wearing on the stem of the gourd rattle. Also, the rocks used inside the gourd rattle are very hard, and don’t shatter, and don’t wear much, so it will make the gourd rattle last a long time. The gourd shell can be replaced if it breaks, please contact the the artist when that happens. If you want handed carve handles, the price will depend on the amount of hours putted into it.
