Birds + Poultry +++ Make Lanterns for St. Martin by Hand

Dear users, dear authors,
for St. Martin in November, poultry traditionally has to lose its feathers. But here on Crazypatterns, that’s not the case—no one gets slaughtered here. But you know how it goes: where there’s planing, there are shavings. Similarly: where there are birds, there are loose feathers too.
Feather trim is fittingly on trend. It would surely look good with a poncho. Feather boas may not be quite practical for everyday wear and also not washable, but what won’t you do for an elegant entrance. :-) If you like, you can also turn the feathers into a dreamcatcher; that will be wonderful.

Get the patterns and then get started.

More birds.
More ducks.
More geese.
More swans.
More owls.
More doves.
More animals.
More lanterns for St. Martin.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.
