root canal and feathers

today I got a root canal they wanted to do 2 of them but the novocaine wore off on the second one and they gave me alot.. I was a drooling zombie. so I go back Monday for another.. my jaw hurts but ill be ok

the other day i got a tube of parrot macaw feathers from my sister in law. take a look on ebay how much people sell these for! http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=parrot+macaw+feathers&rt=nc&_dmd=2

its crazy
one person was selling one long red feather for 99.00!!!

I learned you can wash feathers... here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiuP8jt_4ec ok but dont do what he does cause a washing machine has little holes you will clog things up wash by hand in a bucket then use the pillowcase to dry

I had to wash these a few times I used dawn dish soap then rinsed and did it a few more times
then I placed them all into a pillow case and used the dryer with a dryer-sheet and they came out nice and fluffy. now they look and smell nice they are clean and ready to use..
ill admit im scared cause these feathers are worth alot!
the skull is larger then what I usually use and it used alot more rhinestones then the other ones..
the first step is stoning the skull that takes 24 hours then the feathers I just added that will take another 24 hours............
I also added in below in the photos my last headpiece I made
