Is anyone using their feathers?

Here are a couple of masks that I have made from the naturally shed feathers of both my chickens and my pheasants:

I'm inspired to start collecting them and doing something creative! I do have a small pitcher filled with feathers I've collected as part of my autumn table centerpiece.

I want to make earrings out of chicken feathers!

The masks are AWESOME!!! And regarding the wreath...how did you attach them and what did you attach them to? I wanted to do something similar but couldnt quite figure it out so I just did this instead. (so instructions please!)

 

[dmccann]

your wreath is cool, use a straw form,poke into with a pointed thing pencils break,then push feather into hole,u can glue the smaller ones,real easy.

BRAVOO, BRAVOO!! I'm sitting here figurative clapping wildly. THESE are exquisite, stunning even. I've been walking around here asking what to do with chicken feathers, how to recycle chicken feathers and Lee just looks at me (oh I forgot, feather mattresses . . . NOT). We're due to move onto our farm any day and chickens will be the second animal acquisition. I'm keeping all feathers even if I have to store them in a bag for "a ha moment uses".

Thanks for sharing these.
