I’ll b making headdresses for music festival season. Feathers. Leather. Brass. Sass This is a base I made after instruction from my father via phone and email. These feathers have been knocking around my studios for 4 years! Finally I have use.

This guy.
I had to.
3 feathers for him

My jet setting mother recently went to St Croix, her friend had wild peacocks that ran around their property. She collected dozens of tail feathers.
Peacock feathers are beautiful and vibrant.
In some cultures it as looked on as a bad omen. An evil eye. However, it is mostly revered as a symbol of resurrection and luck in Christian and Greek mythologies.
The peacock sheds and regrows it’s feathers every year and has the ability to eat poison snakes without injury. What?! Looks good and eats killer creatures. Bad ass.
I’ll be incorporating my mom’s gift into my work in the headbands i’ve been making. They are to peek out of hair either in back or cascading down the front of the body.
Peacock baby!

My feathers have arrived! I bought 3 lots on eBay for $30. 34 feathers in total. Most are long grizzly feathers.
It’s amazing the high price of these fowl creatures molted feathers.
Of course I’ve put feathers of pink in my hair. My BFF has blue and yellow on one side and a cluster of color on the other. My hubs even got in on it. Afterall, he loves him some Jack Sparrow.

Macaroni!… It’s strange. I’m not one to jump on a bandwagon. The more popular it is, the more I distance myself. That being said, I really really love the feathers. Kacey, of Homespun Hoops, is one of my hooping inspirations. Tonight at the SurfRider Fashion show event, she gave me these beautiful feathers. Hit her up! Best price in town! I feel like a native priestess who runs through the rainforest in search nuts and berries. Making my own pigments from wild indigo. Or I’m a duckling finally turning into a swan. A funky swan w pink and black stripes.
