| Miniature Chinese Pheasant Kite |
| This kite is a much smaller, much simpler version of a Chinese Pheasant kite that's been around forever. This one has a sail dimension of about 3"W x 1½"H. I print these on Japanese tissue with a color laser printer so the ink doesn't fade or smudge, then cut them out by hand. The spars are hand split bamboo, with a curve steamed into the horizontal spar. The tails on this are about 18" long, but the kite pulls them very easily. |
| I've competed with this style a few times, usually losing to a smaller kite. In 2009, it was beaten by Diane O'Brien of British Columbia, so she got to take that one home with her. I do sell these, but ask ten dollars each for them, as they take forever to cut out. You can order them and other kites by using the "BUY ONLINE" button above. |
