Etsy Holiday Boot Camp Pledge

I, Oliver & Olivia, pledge to participate in the Etsy Success Holiday Boot Camp to the best of my abilities. I vow to check in every week, do my homework and support my fellow Holiday Boot Campers. I will read the weekly newsletters and blog posts, check in on the weekly forum thread, read the weekly blog post, check off the checklists and salute the mascot. I promise to share what I've learned with those who need it, support my fellow Etsy indiepreneurs and, most of all, have a positive and persistent attitude. I understand that together we can spread the word about our handmade and vintage goods, making this holiday season a more unique and meaningful one to gift givers and give-ees everywhere!

Heart Tip Pheasant Feather Headband

Beautiful Heart Tip Pheasant Feather Headband - great item for casual to dressy. This is a tan leather headband (about 1in. thick) covered from end to end in these gorgeous feathers!

Fall Crown

I am calling this one a Fall Crown - this picture does not show how awesomely HUGE it is!! This piece is created from a dried pinecone flower (reddish/tan) attached to 2 pheasant feathers and about 20 dark brown curled feathers. All of this is fastened to a satin covered headband. When worn it is a true fall crown!!!

Silver Crystal w/ Black Netting Fascinator

Here is my first fascinator...
Created from sewn crystals in a star pattern attached to 4 black feather plumes (1 stem has black beads) . All are fastened to black russian veil netting. Love this piece - took a long long time to create but very proud of it :)

Ostrich Pinwheel

So the "staycation" has allowed me to start working on more pieces. Here is an Ostrich Pinwheel - very simple and classic! Created from a single white ostrich feather tweaked into a pinwheel, allowing the feathers to separate and show off the delicate soft flowy nature of this particular feather.

Here is another frame which took SOO much work and re-work. My fingers are killing me!

It is a solid wood frame with a gold/bronze brush stroke overlay.

Over 20 pheasant feathers have been placed in the concave surface of the frame adding a lot of texture and dimension!

Love it!
