I didnt take any *yucky* photos .
I found my box of Borax at Kroger ( grocery). It is actually a washing soda powder but it used to tan out bird wings and such.
Then I grabbed a package of brown paper lunch bags. Several wings fit in each one and then I added a 1/4 cup per bag and shook them up so all the wing would be dusted with the Borax
Next , I packed away in a plastic bin I had and I will put away in the shed for several weeks to dry out....
Once they have all dried I will wash them to sanitize them and then dry with the blow dryer.Some may later be dyed light colors or used naturally
The feathers will be used in projects such as these below.............
These are so cool! We raise Peacocks and have tons of feathers and I am always thinking about doing something with them...now maybe I will. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat first one with the moon is my favorite. I love that your friend let you get the feathers...that's how cooperative we should all be.
