Autumnal Inspirations

Feather Duster

Lush and autumnal, this arrangement started with feathers from a crafts store. I separated them into small clusters that I wired together. To complement the dark brown container, I chose the darkest foliage of the smoke tree and then paired pods from the centers of coneflowers with preserved beech foliage; a dried, preserved grass called phalaris; and chocolate cosmos. The final touch was the feather clusters.
