The Quest for the Perfect Feathers
In my quest for the perfect feathers for my latest mask, I called upon my turkey breeder. Unfortunately, she didn't have available what I needed, but one of her breeder males did. Together, we got hold of him and I held his legs while she plucked some wing feathers for me. It was quite a feat considering he weighed almost of much as me! In the end, I had some perfectly matched wing feathers. Check out my Southwest Gourd Masks and see these beautiful feathers on my latest gourd mask photo.
About Me

- Name: Gourd Art News
Meredith Odom creates Southwest Gourd Art with Native American themes. Most recently, she has begun to focus primarily on themes taken from the portraits of legendary Indian chiefs and warriors of the Southwest and the Northern plains. Each piece is a unique portrayal, using only natural materials and adornments; no two are alike. She has incorporated many different techniques such as wood-burning, leather and ink dyes, jewel and stone inlays, various kinds of antlers, feathers, African porcupine quills and horsehair.
