Indian Feathers....

This is how they were cut - then taped together until they were eventually soldered together.

The feathers are all different. A broken rust colored ornament was soldered on five feathers in addition to pieces from a tan lamp shade that I had bought at an antique store. The lamp shade had ridges and lines in the design. I added beads of red and turquoise.

They were attached with leather strips, each feather hanging at a different level from a rusted cow collar. This will sell as one piece in my show, although I intend to keep making more feathers for individual purchase.

The whole piece hanging with the feathers. It can also be hung outside in a garden or porch area.

This picture shows the feathers in the light. Beautiful!
