The clouds are purple, dyed by the sea, as I hunt.

There is music here, the music of feather and thread and tendon

You can dance a wild dance, a sickened ballerina

More graceful than the cool drip of water out of the Lethe

Into an ear with a lover’s softness as a blessed cure for remembering

The music drives me forward, emblazoned in gold, as I seek.

The senses are blinded here, covered with muzzy darkness

At once close and yet empty

The yawning of an animal scrabbling through the night

So I scuttle through skies on wings worn ragged by time the furrow in my brow as tilled earth

Lying still on dirt, on down, on coiled metal and thin fabric

As jewel-coloured dreams flee before me on paws of shadow and I travel further and further from sleep..

Angel of Hairy Growler.

A little more detail…

Recycled vintage fruit spoon

These wonderfully free spirited feather earrings are perfectly asymetrical and beautiful. Each pair is completely unique and individual. Created especially for you. The ‘bowl’ of an vintage fruit spoon is used as a raw material for the free-hand drawn feather designs. The cute little stars at the top are cut from an old out of circulation coin.

Handmade and completely recycled in Cambridge, UK. Complete with the finest sterling silver ear wires.  You are also welcome to request the actual ‘donor’ spoon which closely connects the wearer to the interesting prior history and green, ethical origins off the earrings.  If this option is chosen I embellish the spoon with extra stary loveliness and you can also request a name, date, etc to be inscribed on the handle if there is room! if not on the inside of the ‘bowl’

• Angel Blue

A feather often symbolizes lightness, freedom, and spirituality, reflecting its physical properties of weightlessness and ability to soar. It can also represent hope, fragility, and the soul’s journey. Additionally, feathers can signify communication, messages from the divine, and even death or transformation.

Freedom and Flight:Feathers are inherently linked to birds and their ability to fly, making them a potent symbol of freedom, escape from earthly constraints, and the desire for liberation.

Spiritual Connection:Across many cultures, feathers are seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, often associated with ascension, messages from the divine, and the soul’s journey.

Hope and Resilience:Emily Dickinson’s famous poem “Hope is the thing with feathers” uses a feather to represent hope, emphasizing its ability to endure even in the harshest conditions.

Fragility and Delicate Strength:While feathers appear delicate, they are essential for a bird’s survival, highlighting a duality of fragility and inner strength. This can be interpreted as a symbol of quiet power or grace under pressure.

Transformation and Change:In some contexts, feathers can symbolize transformation, particularly when associated with molting or shedding of old feathers to make way for new ones.

Other Meanings:Depending on the context, feathers can also represent femininity, masculinity, beauty, or even fertility, especially when associated with vibrant colors or specific birds. Some cultures also associate them with respect, honor, or even a connection to ancestors.

These earrings hang and move fabulously when worn and wonderfully represent the symbolism imbedded within them.
