I'm thinking I may start a series of feather paintings - and peacock feathers are next on my list.I found this pic the other day:

They are lovely, aren't they? I personally would never use feathers unless I found them myself - I hate the thought of how some of them are harvested, but they're undeniably beautiful.
I know the ultimate bowerbird, Sibella Court, is partial to the odd feather or twelve...

Gorgeous, I do love feathers myself. Nature at it's best.

Beautiful feather painting! I think a feather series sounds fabulous! I collect tea cups and saucers, my husband is a declutterer so this limits my collecting ability :)

I like a collection that's nicely displayed. It shows a little of the homeowner's personality. I personally cannot collect ... maybe I've seen too many episodes of Hoarders, but I know I couldn't control myself!

ReplyDeleteGreat post - the feathers are gorgeous! I collect seashells, rocks and anything that catches my fancy!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a fabulous week ;O)
Kerri, your feather study is beautiful. You have such a gift for capturing the essence of your subject. I look forward to seeing more feather paintings.
ReplyDeleteAh, collecting - what a joy! I too used to collect things as a child, things like shells, bits of driftwood, pebbles and horse chestnuts when they were in season. I still do, and have shells, stones, seed pods and feathers dotted around the house. I remember where they all came from and that's part of their appeal.
I also love dipping into mini collections of objects, such as my 4 Avon collectible perfume bottles, my 6 or so small tourist souvenir dishes and all my Penguin paraphernalia. In fact you've given me an idea for an upcoming post!
ooo yes please, feathers are lovely. i do so love it when you launch into a study, so cool to watch xx
ReplyDeleteYour feathers are tickling my fancy. Big time!
