Flights of fancy

by Jennifer on October 29, 2009

It’s time to feast your eyes on another Etsy art round up, this time by less-visible half of Oomphasis. I’m not less-visible in the invisible sense… more like the behind-the-scenes sense. A photographer at heart, I’m much more comfortable observing rather than being observed. From behind the lens I point out into the distant horizon, at a small detail, or through the window. Do you see what I see? This time around, I’m seeing feathers! Why don’t you come look with me?

When I was a little girl I would pick up discarded feathers — found pieces of an avian wonder and the calling cards of an animal not bound to this earth. Stiff enough for flight, yet soft as a whisper upon your cheek. As vibrant as a field of wildflowers punctuated with exclamation points, or as unassuming and unremarkable (yet so remarkable!) as camouflage can be. Layers of beauty wrapped around a spirit that knows the freedom of flight.
