D.B.Lee. Original Feather Art

          My Original Feather Art are created to mimic a traditional Native American feather tie. By using Vinyl as a base, these art pieces avoid traditional taboos. Some tribes observe these taboos with certain types of feather sources. This solution is for everyone to enjoy and posses my art.
          A vinyl base and cut into feather shapes, either left or right vane. The calamus is supported with shaped wood. The surface is sanded to prepare it for a gesso medium. Between each layer of gesso it is sanded to make a smooth drawing surface. Next I add a rawhide stripe over the calamus tip for a sinew tie and or added strand decoration.
          Photo references are chosen and prepared for the shape needed. Images are sketched on to feather canvas as a one off art piece. I choose to never repeat an art piece I have already created. Email me for availability on custom commission designs. I limit a few every quarter of the year. 6 commissions per 3 month period will be my limit.
         My Original Feather Art will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Also for it’s protection, a custom box to transport and safe keeping in the future will be provide.
