New Feathers!

May has been an excellent month here.

Here's what I've got on deck:

* Peahen feathers (including the irridescent green neck, etc)
* Lady Amherst pheasant feathers (including the tippets & wings)
* Ringneck pheasant feathers (including the white ring & the green/purple head)
* Matched pairs of rooster saddle hackle
* A giant stash of natural color-sorted (chinchilla, grizzly, variant, etc) rooster saddle hackle
* A giant collection of every imaginable color of long, skinny Whiting silver (top-end salon) grade rooster saddle hackle
... and more ...
Everything's been pro cleaned (no mothballs garbage!) & sanitized. It's being sorted as we speak...

June and July are going to be great fun!

Last Big Project...

In February, the big project I was working on before I became ill, was "hair extension feathers". I'd bought myself 2 really nice rooster saddles for my birthday in 2009. I already had all of the feathers cleaned and sorted, and it had been my dream since 2009 to dye them up to make a giant set of colorful super-long feathers. So this is what I was doing. In a couple of weeks, the project will finally be ready. I have to do "the blues": blue, indigo, violet... and then it is done. They look terrific so far. I also bought a wholesaler's lot of micro link extension crimps or beads that I'm throwing in with the feathers. There are a LOT of these feathers, so this will be one of my most expensive offerings to my audience. I'm undecided as to how to sell these actually, and have saved some aside to sell "by the feather" for the people who don't want to drop a ton of cash on one item / one seller. Watch for these. :)
