It is very interesting art. I would never think about using feathers for the painting. I like it very much .
WOW! Absolutely stunning! I thought the fish was great and here we have a dog too. Your work is amazing and I envy you the wonderful eyesight you must have. Keep them coming.
I recently mounted three for a wedding gift in a large shadow box ( see http://featherlady_99.homestead.com/pnw.html ), mainly because Aaron Bros. was afraid to touch it. I strung clear filament through the back of the feathers, through the stems, and tied them in place through tiny holes in the matt board that wouldn't be visable once framed. LOL, necessity, the mother of invention and all! I'm going to explore other means and see what works best.
Wow! Featherlady this is incredible!! I am new to WC and did not see the other featherpainting that the others are talking about. I would think congatulations are in order for this work! I cant even begin to imagine using a feather as my canvas. How does one do the brushstrokes without the feather'hairs'moving away from you??
Oh my, your featherpainting is wondrous. I think this is a very original and facinating. How long does it usually take you to complete a featherpainting?
Hey featherlady. That is awesome!!! I've never seen feather painting before, but I'm hooked. I want to try it! Where can I find more info on this?
I live by a park that is full of goose and duck feathers (and crap...hehe) and could be set with feathers if those kind work.
This thread made my curiosity check out your website. Very impressive work!! What an ingenious idea to use as a canvas!! I think you may inspire others to try!:) But you never did tell me how you keep the feather hairs from moving as you paint??
This is very facinating and original artwork. Once again fabulous.
Your work is amazing to me, I am really interested in trying my hand at this for hubby's den. I just don't have a clue as how to start or what to use on them so start. Any help would be appreciated.
Last year,?, when I was watching the Halloween Holiday Monster Movie Fest on AMC they showed old newsreel like stuff in between the old timey bmovies. One of the segments was on an older lady who painted on spiderwebs. Not kidding!! It was really neat. Since then I have tried to get more information but cannot find anything about it. Not even from AMC.
The painting is nice. I used to collect feathers because I thought they were all beautiful on their own.
there really are a good number of feather painters out there. An interesting ground.
Here is a web page about feather art. Has a large link section at bottom.
Would still like to know how it is done though.
This is amazing! I think this is the first feather I have seen of yours; I couldn't believe my eyes! How unique, well done and interesting!!!!!
Is it hard to do? How large are the peacock feathers you paint on? Where do you get the feathers?
