True-to-Size Needle Felted Nature Study
5 x 5 inches | Ready to Hang
This belted kingfisher feather is needle felted to the true size of the bird’s natural feather and mounted inside a 5 x 5 inch wooden shadow box.
Built slowly from wool, fiber by fiber, the feather captures the bold contrast that makes kingfishers so striking — deep slate blues against crisp white, with that distinct banded pattern that feels almost graphic in its simplicity.
Even at this smaller scale, the movement is there. The gentle curve. The shift in density. The soft edge where barbs taper and loosen.
Nothing is cast or molded.
Every detail is formed by hand.
Mounted on linen and finished with a hand-stamped brass identification plate, this piece echoes traditional natural history displays while maintaining the warmth and texture of fiber art.
Because each feather is handmade, subtle variations make every study one of a kind.
