Color Love

I just had to post these;-) I love color so much. it's almost therapeutic for me. I never seem to stick with a design I started drawing. These earrings were supposed to be beige peacock feathers with black and brass...but nooooo. I just had to add some green and blue..yellow was in the picture for a very brief second lol!




Then black became burgundy..a little purple, some turquoise and ........


I think they are gorgeous statement earrings....what do you think?

I couldn't wait. I posted these colorful, vegan friendly peacock feathers in my shop. I can make earrings with any of these colors listed. Wait, did I say vegan and peacock in the same sentence? Yes, because these are synthetic , faux, fake..non-animal based.Though I do use natural peacock feather in some of my feather creations. I clearly indicate if they are natural or not.

I love peacocks and started out working with the birds natural feathers since they shed naturally after the mating season and are still alive and kicking afterward, so to me it's like recycling a sustainable material that won't be used anymore.However, I started to use the man made ones originally it's dead ringer texture and beauty and organic processing but also for those who may be allergic to plumage, I had no idea they would be a hit in the vegan community.

These man made feathers are very well made,long lasting and specially dyed with old traditional dye process derived from the color pigments of flower, fruit and vegetable juices and oils and plants.

Humans have been using organic paints for years, there is just a better way to process the dyes, drying them, crush them up sanitize and set them without worry about running, smearing or staining.
