Synopsis:

Good feather work skills are a must for producing top quality craftwork, and this comprehensive new book covers every facet in great detail. Beginning with a gallery of full-time color photos of hundreds of real feathers, the author takes you through the selection, straightening, trimming, splicing and extending of the feathers in preparation of dyeing and painting. Various types of eagle, hawk, owl and flicker feathers are covered, providing the techniques and tricks needed to produce top quality feathers. The second half of the book is devoted to comprehensive instructions for a dozen projects, including a warbonnet, traditional bustle, roach and hair feathers, wing and tail fans, and more! This book is an absolute must for every serious feather worker.

About the Author: Andrew Forsythe is the owner of Sioux Specialties, where he produces and sells top-quality feathers for both regalia use and the reproduction of historic artifacts.
