Having done my best to describe a brise fan (a bit like slices of a cake),
another idea would be to put odd bits of lace (matching or using different
samples) separately on the top part of a fan skeleton with thin plain
sticks, and then running an invisible thread through the tops to secure them
so they only opening a set amount rather than being able to flop about
without control. Feather fans and those made from cut and painted crepe
paper shapes are made that way.
We lacemakers always seem to think of a lace fan as having to be a
semi-circle of lace mounted on a skeleton.
