Tentacle Feather

This is a painted feather I fashioned into a choker/necklace for my friend and fellow work colleague Siobhan as a thank you gift. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude for her kindness toward me this latter half of the year and although it's only a little thing, I hope it expresses my sincerity in a big way.

Siobhan has a love of that most unusual of all creatures, the octopus, so I thought it highly appropriate to do something along the 'tentacle' theme. Needless to say, I think she liked it!

The feather, by the way, is a woodcock wing primary backed with a metallic peacock feather strung onto a length of cream suede cord, with a little pink bell, beige disc and clear bubble-like pearl bead.

Thank you for everything Si!
