Description

A simple material as feathers can open up a world full of possibilities, where the only limits depend on our imagination. With the same type of feather we can get a wide range and variety of flowers, from small to large, and all only by varying the size of the cut and the shape that we are giving to this feather. Grouping feather by feather, our delicate creations are born.

Taking as a basis the knowledge of how to make a feather peony, we can vary the number of feathers, layers and shapes in each flower so that each new flower is unique and different.

Being in the spring time when all nature revives and fills with colors and smells of flowers, I was inspired to create this piece as a symbol of the freshness and spring air, starting from the base of the feather flower . Making several types of flowers and various sizes, to group them in a single piece as a fresh spring flower bouquet.
