Gone native this week and used some of the lovely feathers I have collected from the game birds. They are such beautiful colours and patterns it is a shame just to throw them away and not appreciate them for a second time. The pheasant and partridge feathers are not from our birds, I hasten to add, but from birds the gamekeeper gave us last year from a nearby estate.The owl stamp is from Crafty Individuals and has been embossed with Copper EP and the image coloured very lightly with blue, green and orange. Due to the bad light up here it is impossible to take a good photograph. It all looks very dull compared to the original.
I hope you like this, I enjoyed watching it evolve. I hardly ever have a set idea in my head when I start something. Anyone else like me?
Thanks for visiting and please feel free to leave a comment as they are very much appreciated.
Love the image and those feathers are super and too good not to use for something. I love the torn edged look too. Yes that is how I work never know till finished what it will look like. Thanks for sharing your feathers this week Love Cynthia x
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp! And those feathers are beautiful. The torn edges finish if off just right.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Janet. The feathers you've used are gorgeous and the way you've incorporated them into the design it super. Love the 'angel' card too.So cross with myself - had a clearout the other week and dumped a jarful of parakeet feathers I'd been saving.Grrr.

Janet, this is soneat! You know, I didn't even think of fly tying, for some reason. My dh comes home tomorrow after 2 weeks in Alaska salmon fishing. If he'd been here with his fly tying equipment out, I surely would have thought of it. You have done such an outstanding job with this, and Yes! I start making something and it just evolves. Those are some awesome feathers.
ReplyDeleteLovely feathers and stamp. The colour blending with the feathers and the torn edge is great. Am trying to go with the flow more!
