It all started with my fooling around with some Sterling Silver that I was hammering, and noticed that it looks like a snake. Sorting through cool stuff in my hidden drawer, I found a couple of hand painted leather feathers. I LOVE Turquoise and grabbing from my stash these dark Hubei Turquoise were perfect with the feather. The Suede Leather feather is 3 1/2" long and a bit over 5/8" wide. On a 21" long Turquoise necklace with a 3" extender featuring a bear for a dangle.
