Leather Feathers

[ClayB]

Here are some of the leather feathers that I have made. I learned to do the eagle feathers off of one of Robb Barr's videos. I really like doing these when I am feeling like doing something with leather and don't have a lot of time. They also make nice gifts. I seem to give them away as fast as I make them.

Dear ClayB,

very good work. And the painting looks excellent. I guess everybody wants them.

wow, now there's something else i want to do!!!!

[ClayB]

Thanks Gisela. I haven't made any in awhile, I should do that one of these days.

Caroline, I know you can do these. It only takes a couple stamping tools, a scalpel and a hairing knife. I can give you directions on how to make a simple hairing knife. They are easy to make. I bet you could do some really cool effects on the feathers with an airbrush.

Tom......you'll probably make enough Black Feathers for a Flock of Ravens.

I don't know how I missed this earlier - do you guys realize this was originally posted almost 3-1/2 years ago?

But you know... I bet those would make great hat ornaments.

I saw some of Jim Linell's carved feathers when I visited Tandy Leather Factory here in the UK a few months back - I had no idea how nice something like this could look in real life. I'm going to have to find some time to make one - or maybe two...

Nice job Clay - even if it was years ago!
