chris maynard's feather art
Most birds are born into a pretty spiffy set of feathers, but artist Chris Maynard has found a way to pretty their plumage up even more.
Most birds are born into a pretty spiffy set of feathers, but artist Chris Maynard has found a way to pretty their plumage up even more. Using tools like eye surgery scissors, teeny-tiny forceps and magnifying glasses to snip into each feather, he forges delicate designs of peacocks, turkeys, as well as parrots, macaws, pheasants and a flock of other plume-covered friends. He also does his part for bird conservation, making sure only responsibly sourced feathers are used in his work – two thumbs (or claws) up for that.
