Because of all the birds that frequent our yard, I have collected feathers over the past 4 1/2 yrs. I have made pens from Canadian Goose Feathers and decorated gourds that I have grown with swan's fluffy short feathers. After they spend a day of grooming, I can always find a few at the water's edge. I wash them gently with dishwashing liquid, dry on a paper towel and then wave them like a wand in the air to fluff.
A Large goose feather with the inside of a Bic Ball Point Pen inserted into the shaft and then ribbon wound around the outside for a grip. No, I am not left handed but since taking the photo myself, I clicked with my right hand, LOL!

Oh Kerrie Sweetie...
Yeah. I am so thrilled, you're going to post a Pink Saturday. You will be so overwhelmed by all the "pinkies" that come to welcome you. It is the most beautiful land in blogland. I am so tickled "PINK".
Thank you for enjoying my "Hands" post. I loved it when I finished it. I cherish your comments as a writer and artist. My hand the aged one, Heidi's the sparkly one and the Destiny has the painted nails, and Isabel the plain on top. She is a no fuss gal like her Grams.
Have a beautiful day today. Give Bill a hug for me, and Isabella a little swish down her back and through her tail, she will love me for it. I can see her and Bill in their favorite chair.
See ya tomorrow sweetie. Country hugs and so much love...Sherry
So lovely your relationship with birds!!! and so beautiful your feathers displayings!!!
Muchos cariños,
