FINE FEATHERED FORAY

I have really been tasking myself with using the materials, tools and supplies I already have instead of jumping off and buying more…

And when I have been a part of crafting that tool – thus making it all that more meaningful – well, I have just got to maximise the usage.

Feather stamp and fabric

So out came the amazing sugru feather stamp that Christine made for me during our interview, as did glittery gold fabric paint and a heavy cotton twill fabric scrap I had kicking around just waiting for a usage. These thusly came together…

I then cut them out and, for added feathery authenticity, threaded the edges by pulling away individual strands,

But what next?
Well, I have had a couple of branches… real, untreated, straight-from-a-forest branches that were collected on very strict instruction by my then-new boyfriend (now 13-years later husband) that have taken a variety of crafty forms in our home. And they had been purpose-free for a while, so one was just primed for a feathering.

Happily, this used up all of the paint, most of the fabric and one of the branches. Which satisfied my need to put a dent in my supplies pool (and makes room for more… ooops.)
