Well the really amazing part is that since my daughter was able to pick a costume, she has decided right after Halloween and stuck with that decision ....so, I don't have to decide what to make, just how to make it and how elaborate.
Last year she was a six foot dragon with wings she...
Here's the Hippagriff body, painted and mostly feathered on this side. Still needs the wing mounts and the lower beak.

So my daughter, Katherine is soon to be 9, not too long ago, one of her favorite bedtime stories was Are You My Mommy?

Two birds... better than none! I'll take whatever I can get.
I don't know what happens to the feather when they are scalded, but they don't need to be perfect.
Thanks!
Any one who has feathers can e-mail me at [email protected]
If possible, a photo of what you have would be excellent!
E-mail me and we can make a deal... at the least I will pay for shipping.
Buckbeak! Yes, my daughter will be Hermoine on a Hippogriff. We formed the wire (chicken wire) frame...
Shaggy fabric just wouldn't make a very impressive bird.
I understand that I am not talking to large commercial poultry operations, but certainly there's somebody with a pile of feathers who could actually take a little time to rake up a trash bag full and UPS them for a few bucks plus shipping...
