Fancy That!

In the 1970’s my father started making feather earrings (most likely to attract beautiful long haired hippy girls like my mother).  For biker chicks, tarot card readers, pseudo-hippies, and girls that like it wild, feathers have never gone out of style, so, my father has never taken them out of his product line-up.  When I was a kid I would sit with him in his workshop in the basement as he carefully plucked matching feathers from piles of pheasant skins, still resplendent with gorgeous feathers, and expertly found pairs of white fluffy feathers from long strings I would don like boas. As a result, I’ve been wearing feather earrings almost as long as I’ve had pierced ears, in fact, I have a pair that my dad made for my mom in the 70’s.  Even though they show their age, I perk them up by putting them in a steady steam of stream from my tea kettle and they get as light and fluffy as 30 some-odd year old feathers get.  (This can be done with any feathers when they’re feeling down.)

This is a sampling of some of my father’s current feather creations which can be yours for $20 a pair.  Handmade with sterling silver wrapping and ear wires, they can also be customized (to a degree) if you’d like a color combination that you don’t see here. (Note: Feathers that have been dyed, especially those that have been dyed unnatural colors, don’t factor into the customization scenario I’ve laid out before you.) 

If you are a girl who likes it wild, or has a friend that gets a little feral, message me and get a little awesome.
