Great Spirit feather

Description

Here is my Great Spirit feather, it is a dyed goose feather painted and beaded by me.

The painting shows a young Native American warrior sitting on his bay pinto horse offering thanks to the Great Spirit for a safe return to his land. The horse is standing on a high plateau above a lovely green valley, and above him the evening creeps in and the stars are showing (look carefully at the stars as there is something hidden there)

The feather has tan leather tassels (slightly rough for effect), and black, white, red, bone and brown beading - please note the beading is ok but not spectacular! (I needs more practice lol)

There are other closeup pictures in my gallery of this feather.

Price is £25 inclusive of postage within the UK - for friends further afield just send me a note and I'll find out how much to send it to you.

Amazing!

As for the beading, don't sweat it. It's tradition to leave at least one flaw in Native American artwork and craft, as it's considered essentially an insult to the Creator to create something "perfect." That's the Creator's job. XD No excuse to be sloppy, but don't concern yourself with creating perfection.

It's touching to see people so far away interested in the culture.
