Feathering the niche

A few years ago while visiting the Denver Art Museum, one of the zillion treasures on view were a few "feather baskets" in the Native American collection.  I thought one of my niches in the great big tree reliquary sculptures would be beautiful lined with feathers... So I stashed a note in my head that day.  Early the next morning while drinking tea in a condo on the ski hill I scribbled a note "line with feathers" into my sketchbook.  I have about as many ideas for art as the art museum has objects (yup - a zillion).  Luckily this is one idea I have begun to explore in my art:

Glueing each feather, one at a time...
