This profile is set up to help me promote and sell my jewelry. I have always been fascinated by birds and their beautiful colored feathers and plumage. I became interested in making feather earrings a year or so ago when i couldnt find them anywhere. There are several different styles which are available for sale. I hand dye most of them and therefore can create a variety of different looks. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Please read my blog for information on ordering earrings.
