More about Feathers and Eggs
Feathers
Feather paintings are done on turkey feathers. I can matte and frame your feather painting, send it to you as-is, or attach findings so that you can hang your feather. A hanging feather makes a nice accent to the interior rearview mirror of your car. If you would like your feather framed and double-matted, please specify two matte colors.
The different types/sizes of turkey feathers are:
-
Covert: average size 2in wide by 7in long
-
Pre-tail: average size 3in wide by 9in long
-
Full length: average size 4in wide by 16in long
- Multiple feather: on request, I can create paintings
across multiple feathers - two, three, a group, or
a full tail fan
Eggs and Psanky
Egg paintings and Psanky are done on real eggs that have been emptied via a small hole on the underside. Eggs are coated with gloss varnish for a nice shine, which protects the paint and dye. The types of eggs I use are:
- Chicken: average size 2 1/2in tall and 6 inches around (circumference)
- Goose: average size 4 1/2in tall and 8 inches around
- Ostrich: average size 8in tall and 16 inches around
