I’m occasionally asked if I put glass on my feather Art and the answer is always “no.” Primarily because as an artist, I create original pieces of artwork and glass is reserved for copies or reproductions, not originals.
In addition, one of the highlights of Feather Art is the iridescent feathers. The glare from the glass reduces this effect.
For anyone concerned about damage to their feathers, rest assured that won’t be a problem with my method. Years ago, before I came up with the idea of making artwork out of my turkey feathers, I was making turkey decoys that are “tougher than a stuffer.” I use the same process in my artwork that I developed with my decoys. If my decoys can take a beating in the field, your artwork will be safe on your wall!
