Wow… just wow! These are fabulous!
I found a magpie feather this morning and thought “wow I want to make something with that” However this just beats anything I could have imagined. As for pigeons, I quite like the feral pigeons. I have a bit of a soft spot for the scrawny mangled ones with twisted tallons. I might be alone in that though.
omg. how gorgeous are these forms? The sheen of the feathers as the light plays over the curves…jaws drop.
How would you preserve these?
