Finishing feathers on Friday

More recently quite a lot of my creative time has gone into bigger art works - community and commission. However in an earlier post I indicated I was quietly making a few metal feathers.

I have managed to finish four pendant feathers; and three sets of earring feathers. All the feather forms were hand hammered on my smaller anvil. Recently in a 'collectables' shop I bought four older silver chains - I have used these on the feather pendants - another bit of recycling and reuse. The pendant feathers are about 6cm long. The chains are all about 50cm long.

The earring feathers are about 2.5-3cm long.

A small creative task but quite a nice sense to complete a task. Friday - hmm - off to have a quiet drink or two and some zuchini slice.
