Light As A Feather

Flock into Spring
















As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather, flock together' - so does the 2010 season of the feather. I'm seeing this trend all over the runway, magazines and stores everywhere. From peacock and ostrich, to pheasant and marabou. There's just something about feathers - they conjure up images of graceful swans, of flitting sparrows, of fairytales, and the dream of flight that can only ever be a dream for we wingless creatures.























As I was watching American Idol this year, I really came to like the eclectic stylings of Indie Artist, Lilly Scott. Every week that she would perform, I not only enjoyed her sulty sounds, but made note of her wacky accessories. I decided to create my own take on her feather earrings seen here...
