side feathers or no side feathers?

**~*~ShanLyn~*~** · 10-31-2002, 02:43 PM

do u gurls wear side feathers? if you do, are they plumes or straight feathers?

10-31-2002, 07:54 PM

I have an eagle feather drop, and a scissor tail drop that I wear.

**billyjoejimbob** · 11-01-2002, 12:16 PM

Are side feathers the same as wearing side barettes and is it just a jingle thing? I think I have seen some fancy shawl with them but I just want to be sure.

"is it just a jingle thing?"

Nah, im fancy shawl and I wear mine all the time. Been thinking bout making one out of parrot feathers next.

ok, now my question!:)

I normally use plumes for the back of my hair, and have several small feathers that I would like to wear for the side.

Is that what is meant by side feathers?How would one wear them, or fix them? I dance both by the way:p

Sweet Syilx · 11-02-2002, 03:43 AM

Yep, I wear side plumes. I also just made a matching barrette with side macaw feathers. I cant wait to try them out :)

Riverwoman, would like to help you out, but I dont do my own featherwork. My uncle does that stuff for me. If I can get a hold of him, I will ask him how to do it :)

I like to use side drops myself, I have 2 little white eagle feathers, 2 sets of little straight feathers and a plume set.
I like to wear them, swivels are good to have on them because they move with your every little movement.:chief:

~*~MizzQaqimat~*~ · 11-03-2002, 06:21 PM

I wear back plumes, and some side plumes. I'm thinkin about some green macaws too, but i dont know if it would look right mixed like that. like with the back plumes and macaws on the side?

i like the way that the side drops look but, it can't be over done or you might look like you have a dog soldier cap on....lol, and i don't think you want that. i've always used my back plumes and i'm going to put about 5 small feathers on spinners to wear off to the side. That should be plenty.... i like the way the macaw look too, those are pretty...maybe for like afternoon session or when it's really windy...

meme4949 · 11-06-2002, 12:47 PM

side plumes for me, i like the way they kinda flutter during sidesteps. looks jus purty lol

11-06-2002, 12:53 PM

Another question: How would you attach those feathers to spinners so that you can wear then? and what are spinners? Excuse my ignorance on that subject! I need to know how to attach them to something, so that I can wear them. I also have two smaller eagle feathers, around 5' each. How could I attach those so I can wear them on the side? And what about tiny plumes, I mean some that are less then 3', would anyone know how to fix them as well? Just wondering and curious

Thanks yal!:p

**~*~ShanLyn~*~** · 11-06-2002, 01:22 PM

well what i do or have done is i've wrapped the ends of the feathers with embroidery thread and i have all the colors of my beadwork and stuff, and then i've attached either a necklace hook or a fishing spinner hook thingy to the end. i tied it with the thread.
or another time i used a bobby pin. i stuck it through the end of the feather and jus wrapped the thread around it.
these all made the hooks, and then on my barrette i put a clasp that could hook onto the hooks on the feathers and voila! thats how i had my feathers on

**~*~ShanLyn~*~** · 11-06-2002, 01:23 PM

oh i dont know if you get what i was trynna say if ya need me to i'll try and clarify it a lil better for ya!

nimkiikwe_49 · 11-11-2002, 04:23 PM

I use straight feathers for the back, and side... the side ones are just little, ones... they are so cute...three of them with a little fluff at the base... if I had plums i'd use them for the side...

TradisH~*~QueeniE · 11-13-2002, 02:25 AM

if you got em.....use em.....they look awesome..I think anywayz :D

j_j24 · 11-15-2002, 02:42 PM

i use a eagle feather for the back and side plumes -my second set is a eagle plume for the back and black tipped feathers for the side- i have two sets, but i really think it's time to hand down to a younger family member. i need to make new feather/plumes for myself. i've have had these since i was 14 now i am 24 and think it's time to retire them.
