Wild Turkey Feathers by Cynthia St Charles

Wild turkeys roam the sandstone cliffs and ponderosa pine covered hills near our home. In the winter, they feed below our bird feeders on a daily basis. During a walk last spring, we came across the site of a turkey kill. The predator had removed everything except the feathers, which were fully intact and beautifully iridescent in the afternoon sun. Bringing them home, I discovered I loved the way these feathers looked against a backdrop of my rust dyed fabric, and I set out to design a wall hanging that would display the feathers in a unique way.
