Feathers everywhere.

[AmyWho]

I've got 3 girls in the throes of molt right now. I started collecting the feathers a few days ago.
I'm pretty crafty and plan on making a feather duster and a few cat toys out of this haul.
Any other ideas? Am I the only one who feels like they shouldn't be wasted?

Some people make crafts, like necklaces.

Dream catchers look great with feathers.

I posted this question on another forum as well and found a girl who makes dinosaurs!
They're amazing. But I'm afraid I have stick with trying dream catchers and feather dusters...

Dang! That is so cool!

Right? I was almost sorry I asked. Anything I make will be shameful by comparison.

Don't be sorry. Be inspired!

I was thinking of a picture made from feathers.

It's not super fancy, but it's a start. It's about as big around as a beer can. I used one of the tiniest feathers from my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. It's a little hard to tell from the picture, but it has a gorgeous soft white outline on the feather.
I'm gonna go hunt around and see if I can find some beads and leather.

Good start!

Thanks!

Now I just need a little more of that thing called "spare time."
