miriamburke 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hello there, Bit of an odd enquiry... I am currently working with an artist, Kate MccGwire who makes incredible and beautiful sculptures using feathers. (Please follow this link to her website to have a look at her work: www.katemccgwire.com) At present, she is making 5 new sculptures using Crow and Magpie feathers for an exhibition in October, and we need an awful lot of feathers to make the work as each sculpture requires about 1000 feathers! If you think that you might be able to help in our quest for feather collecting, we would love to hear from you! We are after the beautiful blue-black petrol colour feathers from Corvids and the thing is that we need them in pretty good nick i.e not too damaged by shots. If you would be willing to perhaps cut off the wings from anything that you have shoot that looks still fairly pretty & post them to us I would be very grateful! I can supply prepaid, ready addressed envelopes if you are interested. Although Kate is very busy making sculptures, she is not currently making very much money to offer much financial incentive... But we are looking at it as a unique and interesting form of recycling - making something beautiful and exquisite from something that would otherwise be destroyed. If you can help, I would love to hear from you! You can email me at miriamburke@live.com Thank you very much! Miriam Quote Link to post
