Jake, Meg and Gertie are almost through with their feather moult and ready for winter. I've been carefully collecting their best shed feathers and saving them for my talented crafting friends.
Most feathers are not naturally shed, they are ripped over and over from the live animals but these are carefully reclaimed and cleaned.
Jake's feathers range from 18" black and white stripes to delicate iridescent fluffs. Meg's are a warm nutmeg (her name inspiration) and black white Gertie's are graphic black and white.
I can't wait to see what new life these take on through the talents of others; new pieces that have a compassionate start.
