Trend Focus - Feathers

Last year The Dusty Attic released what proved to be some very loved items - Feathers, Mini Feathers and of course, the Peacock Feather!  So often now we are seeing these items pop up on projects, and not only as Dusty Attic chipboard, we are seeing patterned papers using them as well as real feathers, it's fabulous!!  

So we thought we'd share some of the work our Design Team have done with them since their release!
