Feather headdress for a child

When I was home a child put  on one of my feather headdresses. It was adorable, but I think it was too heavy for her head and the feathers were too high.  So I made this smaller headdress for one of my friend's daughters.  I used shorter feathers which are less expensive and easier to work with also.  It gave me the idea that I should make some with shorter feathers.  Look for the line of headdresses coming soon!

Is it bad that when I see these I want to make them into feather headdresses?

Every new idea is an old one



Sorry I have been gone!  I went out of town last weekend to San Francisco.  It was a fantastic time.  My sister came and I made her a feather headdress to wear and we got loads of compliments on them.  Our picture was in SF weekly, that was pretty cool!  The reason I was inspired to write this blog was because I found this website of lego jewelry that was published a year ago.  And here I thought my idea was completely original.  That's ok, a woman came into my work tonight and wanted to buy a pair, so I do not think it is totally mainstream yet.  I'll get my big new idea somewhere.  I finished all three feather headdresses I wanted to make.  You can see two of them in the link I provided earlier of my sister and I in San Francisco.  The other one I sold and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.  Here are a couple of pictures of me wearing it.  I really need to spring for a nicer camera someday soon.
