Fantasy Harpy Eagle - Leather Maskby *windfalcon

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Masks

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.

I thought real feathers were illegal or something...

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.

Oh, that explains it

Wow, that's impressive.

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

Really Beautiful work!! Are you using veg tan, or chrome tan on the feathers?

*windfalcon Nov 17, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Wow, this is a super late response

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.
