Pigeons, pigeons everywhere! They love to hang out in gangs on my roof terrace and coo together, tormenting us early in the morning. I enjoy watching their rituals and hilarious mating dance.
Much to most people's disgust, I really like pigeons and think they are quite beautiful. They tend to carelessly shed their feathers around so I've pinched a few to take some prints from.
Inking up the actual feather works best I find. Here I have simply rubbed the paper over the inky feather to produce a light, embossed transfer.
Below is where I tried rolling an inked up roller over top of the feather (under paper). It hasn't worked how I wanted but creates some interesting marks instead.
