Acrylics on cockatiel feather

A little more on the small side compared to the feathers I’m used to using… But a good learning experience. Commissioned by the owner. :) 

W.I.P. - Cockatiel portrait painted on one of her own naturally moulted tail feathers. 

I’ve only just realised now that a Jersey two pence piece isn’t a very universal size reference.

Incandescence - Acrylics on black goose feather (27cm x 5cm).

Tassel - Assorted budgie and European jay feathers.

I have more feathers than I know what to do with right now. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for designs you’d like to see please let me know. :3

White wolf feather painted about a year back, which I forgot to post.

Acrylics on black goose feather with painted fimo bead.

There’s a certain irony to painting marine mammals on birds feathers.

First official piece of 2014, let’s see how long I can keep to the resolution of producing more artwork this year.

Acrylics on black goose feather. The tassel is made from budgie feathers my mum collected from a friend, I really liked that the largest one seems to have a similar pattern on it to that of an orca’s chin and eye patch.
