Feathers, with their beautiful forms, sheens, colors and other properties call out our creative spirit. These gifts from the birds can be arranged, sculpted with, painted on, and woven to make things like dream catchers, elaborate costumes and headdresses.
The art of painting on feathers has survived as one of the finest arts practiced in many countries. Each artist uses different paint and has his or her own tricks to make the miniature picture show to its best advantage on the chosen feather.
Painted feathers are often framed to display all their beauty. Others are worn as a necklace, earring or other kind of jewelry. In more traditional regions painted feathers are still worn as hair ornaments.
