The Little Marbled Feathers

As I am continuing this session of marbling, I am using two different types of paint. Actually they each have their own pluses and minuses~interesting tho! Also weather conditions as usual affect results. It is hot hot hot.

And speaking of HOT-for those of you who have signed up to follow my blog, I am offering a 15% off coupon~HOTMARBLES. If you are following my blog, you are entitled to l5% discount when you use this coupon at http://quillnaros.etsy.com/  till I decide it is over!  Now I will give you a preview of the little guys I have marbled.

New Bird Trick!

JUST KIDDING!

New Marbled Parrot Feathers!

We have survived the storm that blew through (and thank you everyone for being patient) We were without power for three days, others are not so lucky and they are still without power (my 83 year old mother included). Trees fell all around us, in our area no one was injured. We really lucked out!

SO take a look at the new marbles. I will start listing them in my Etsy store http://www.quillnaros.etsy.com/  over the next week~and I am continuing on with even MORE marbling.

When the Chimera comes knocking at your door (it's already too late!)

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter--bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart"

description of a chimera~Quote by Stephen Crane

Chimeras are insatiable~they chew you up and spit you out. They look like regular human beings.
I met one. But only one out of three hundred and something wonderful people who have purchased my feathers, it ain't too bad!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Whew! Well cleaning up the garden with all those weeds, the rain, the heat~ took me 1-1/2 weeks longer than I had bargained for. The irony of it is 15 years ago there was a burning pit in the middle of the yard. I excavated it and planted  my lilly perenials. I thought if each year I planted perenials eventually I could get rid of the grass and have a labor free garden.  Oh Yea! WRONG!  Since my marbling session is late in starting~today, the fourth of July, I am ready to occupy the kitchen and get down and dirty!

Another Beautiful Creation with Marbled and Natural Parrot Feathers!

Isn't this absolutely gorgeous? This was made by Desiree Grace @ 3 Gypsies in Davenport Iowa. I am so happy when I can see what artists are creating with my marbled feathers. The lemon yellow feathers are the natural head feathers of the cockatoo and the marbled feather is an originally white cockatoo wing feather.

Hey everyone, keep sending me pics of your creative endeavors~I will immediately show them off in my blog!

Feather Creations!

One of my return (many times) customers has sent me pictures of some of her hair accessories! I am always so happy when that happens. It is amazing how we all think so differently and also it is important to enjoy and observe what other artists are creating. This artist has not yet opened her store, but when she does I will definitely print her store name with the photographs she has sent.

Keep in mind, I may only have 12 followers~but actually to me it's 12 million and I would like to continue gaining more peeps who use and enjoy my marbled feathers. Also within the week~I am going to start offering special coupons for my store. Stay tuned! And thank you all for following me...
