Feather Hair Clips and the Review on Downtown Artwalk

Half of these I made and Mehu embellished. The other half Mehu made using a lot of my leftover feathers (what I first started using and what prompted me to open an Etsy shop.)

Anyway, the feather hair clips sold pretty well at Downtown Artwalk, as did Mehu's soaps. True, what we thought would sell (my steampunk clock hand necklaces and Mehu's handbags) didn't really sell. All in all, it wasn't a major profit-source. We spent hours setting up and taking down our booth. It was a workout and a lot of waiting. People started showing around 7pm, so the first 4 hours dragged. We probably tripled our money at best. Most sales were from our friends. Anyway, this probably means we won't be back for next month's Artwalk.

New Feather Necklaces

I was experimenting with more feather necklaces since I'm starting to make some more feather hair clips for the show. I actually considered making lingerie (bras and panties) with chain and feathers. We'll see how it goes. This is what I've made with the feathers and chain so far.

Feather Hair Clips and Headbands

The reason I first decided to get an Etsy account was because I wanted to buy a feather hair clip. But when I saw how much they cost, I said, "Forget that! I'll just make my own!" And I did. Here are some of my first creations. A lot of them are still on my Etsy site, for you to purchase!
