Just a heads up/reminder--if anyone is using found feathers for this, make sure that it's not from an endangered species/bird of prey. You have to be a card carrying native american to use those. (There are regulations even to that, but I am not familiar with them.) DNR doesn't differentiate much between a feather you found by the road or in a field and one from a bird you shot yourself, since they can't really know if you ACTUALLY found it by the road or not. The creator, eventual purchaser, and possibly even the con (I'm not sure about that, but they'd be the ones selling it, so it's quite likely) could end up with fines or jail time.
