has plain white silk fans on bamboo frames: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1669-AA.shtml for $4.95 You could either embellish the silk or cover it, or probably remove and replace it. They also carry white silk paddle fans: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1539963-AA.shtml but a) they are out of stock and b) I don't think the paddles are period for 18th/19th century. Good luck with your project. Lauren > I want to try making a fan (18th-19th century style as opposed to > renaissance style) but I don't know where to get the base.
