Feather Experiment

Yesterday I was looking at my abundance of white feathers and felt as if I needed more variety. So I decided to perform a little experiment.

This is what they look like straight out of the package

This is the coloring after soaking in tea for about 30 minutes

This is the coloring after soaking in tea for about an hour

This is the coloring after soaking in coffee for a non recorded amount of time

(I kind of forgot about them)

I think this is my favorite effect. I painted the middle in an outward/upward motion with water color paint. After they dried I soaked them in water for a while to get some residue off. After they dried from the water bath they still left a little black on my fingers, but they're so pretty!

The same method of water color painting with different colors. My favorite is the lavender pinkish color to the far left. They all had that square top but I decided to trim the top to a point, I think I'm going to do that to all of them, it looks more natural to me.
