  1. New and usual shades.

    We've been super busy lately listening to our customers and adding new shades of ostrich feathers.  As well as popular pale pink and blue feathers, we also now stock unusual shades.  Dusky rose pink and pale sea blue, for example.

    Zig Zag Cut Feathers

    Sometimes the odd of one of our grade A feathers doesn't quite meet our quality control.  This doesn't mean they get thrown out though.  We trim them down and carefully cut a zig zag pattern down the plume.  Perfect for adding to a hat.  These measure between 8 and 10 inches.  They'll make a fantastic statement for any millinery project.

  2. If you've discovered our latest news update then you're looking for ideas on feathers.

    We're hoping to help you discover how fantastic peacock feathers are. They have so many uses but here we're covering how feathers can be used in weddings.
     
    Have you heard the phrase "blue green should never been seen, except with something in between"? If so then the humble peacock feather makes a fantastic choice.
     
    Due to the feather shades of blues and green, pretty much any other colour can look fabulous.
     
    Below is an example of how an aqua wedding shade co-ordinates with the peacock plume.

  3. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to you but we really do adore feathers.

    We love how light and delicate they are and we especially love how many shades, styles and types there are available.

    We're concentrating on the Goose Coquille feather today and how wonderfully versatile a goose feather really is.

    The number one most popular use for a white goose coquille feather is for stuffing into clear baubles at Christmas time.  The delicate nature mimics a soft, white fluffy snowflake.  The top of the tip of a coquille is sturdy enough for stamping meaning they can be personalised.  A genius idea, don't you think?

    Another great use of white feathers is in hats and hat making.  We especially like how the creator has layered the white feathers making them not only bright but beautiful too.

    We also find that white goose coquille feathers are so floaty, they are a photographers choice for photo shoots.  Look how they glide through the air giving enough time for that all important capture.

    Of course, once the feather has landed it can still create a work of art by sitting it on somethng reflective.  If you're an avid photographer or just starting out, why not consider goose coquille feathers for your next project?
