I'm looking for a cheaper place to order a huge batch of turkey feathers (the current place to beat is rainbow feathers co at a hefty £119 thanks to shipping, naturally I want to find somewhere closer to home.
Anyone ever ordered and know of a place to get feathers in large quantities?

(some might even let you come and collect them yourself for nothing....) |

cheers that site is promising! (shame on it being out of stock though, wanted to order asap) when they sent you feathers, did they send them mixed or seperated into left and right wing? (if not seperated, did you get an even ammount?) |

It was fantastic for my Angeal wing as we needed them all going one way anyway, but for Uriel's pair of wings, we had to trim the feathers so that while some curved one way, they looked like they curved the other way.
It's tricky, but it's doable! __________________ CosplayIsland Staff Member

LMAO What kind of wings are we talking? Quote Speckles:
