Another tons-of-feather-layers mask :0 This one with real feathers, too! This was a commission for someone who wanted a fantasy-twinged harpy eagle mask.

Hand-carved and shaped 7-oz leather, hand painted with acrylics. The rear-most layer of leather feathers are 4-oz, and the feathers behind those are real feathers.

Most wild bird feathers are illegal to own in the U.S. However, domestic and exotic feathers are legal. The feathers used on this mask are domestic goose feathers, thus legal to own. :)

I love the depth of colour you always seem to achieve with your masks, and the leather feathers look amazingly real as a result.

Wow, this is a super late response :D Do you mean the leather feathers or real feathers? The leather is vegetable tanned leather, painted with acrylics. The feathers are pre-dyed goose feathers.
