can you not tear open a pillow?

Steal over to your nearest farm and pluck 'em from a hen!

Perhaps your butcher might have some from game that he gets in?

Dont have feather pillows in the house.Makes me sneeze! Straight from the chicken doesnt sound very hygenic.Grin

Tis pretty hygenic really. Unless you think it might have bird flu!!!

Early learning do feathers, quite big though and i'm not sure if they are brown. Sorry not very helpful.

When I did something similar with DS, I cut crepe paper in feather shapes & layered them on ie just stick one end down if you see what I mean !

Thanks auntyquated but not sure multi coloured would be right on a chicken.

auntyquated · 15/03/2006 22:13
