Just wanted to offer a little tip for future earring-making. My tip is: Instead of having to wrap all that wire around your feather--- get some "crimp beads" and use one of these in place of the wire you've been using. Saves on time and money. You can get them anywhere (they are sold in variety packs of 50, 100, 200, etc.) and they come in every metal and color under the sun for dirt cheap. All you need is one. Place the crimp bead on the base of your feather (same place you've wrapped the wire), clamp down on the crimp bead with crimping tool or any other type tool you might have handy (needlenose pliers, regular pliers, etc.) anything that will clamp down on the crimp bead causing it to attach itself to the feather. Once crimp bead is in place, attach your fish hook to it (crimp beads come with a loop attached to one end for this purpose) and wa la! Your done. Again, this will save you having to buy and use all that wire and the crimp beads will give you a neater, more professional look. There's also no way that your feathers will slip out and fall off like there is when wrapping wire around them. Hope this helps. Yeah, great tutorial on making feather earrings.

I've been making feather jewelry like this for a while now. Fly fishing stores are a great spot to get high quality materials from. I've gone to http://www.theflyfishers.com for a ton of my feathers and have been very happy. Great tutorial! I’ve been making feather jewelry like this for a while now.
