I am looking into ways I could do customization without the nightmare of individual pet portraits (I have learned my lesson lol!). I was thinking that in a shadow box frame, a framed print or some kind of 3D cutout of the species drawing could be combined artfully with the actual mounted feathers and some kind of ānameplateā of the persons individual bird. Since macaws are the largest parrots, Iām looking at possible frame pricing and wondering how big of a frame would even be needed to accommodate those big long tail feathers? What about other parrots? Smaller birds have smaller feathers Iām not all that familiar with size wise either. Anyone want to take a quick moment to measure the tail/wing feathers of your bird and tell me the species for me It would be much appreciated!
Feedback on this idea would be nice too I did a quick mockup as an idea of what Iām thinking, though Iām fairly certain different birds or more than one bird per frame might change frame and feather orientation. Not going to be selling anything until well into the new year, but curious if anyone might even be interested in this kind of thing and how much would you pay? Would you want a kit to assemble yourself with your feathers at home or to send in your feathers and receive a fully complete framed piece of art? Multiple birds per frame (that would be a pretty big and pricey frame though unless weāre talking budgies)? Whatever feedback you have!
