Ara - The Parrot

Having bought my ticket for the Hollywood themed party at the Cygnet Hotel, post to follow, I decided to assemble a statement piece for the occasion. Months ago I received bunches of feathers from a friend via Sea View Wildlife Experience (formerly Flamingo Park) and these included about six macaw feathers. I can't be certain but my best guess is that they belonged to a scarlet macaw (amongst the more well known), as depending on lighting all the primary colours can be seen much like in this particular bird. Anyway when it came to constructing a headpiece with these beautiful feathers I began with the standard hairband style using millinery wire much like I've posted previously and the gold stag detail is present thanks to Katie, which I think finished off the piece nicely and also helped me decide the wearing gold or silver jewellery dilemma! The name 'Ara' is also the genus of macaws to which the most famous belong. It is also a constellation, Latin for Altar and specifically that used by Zeus.

I love the effect my camera flash has on the feathers!

So Long Southampton

I must admit that leaving Southampton just before the festive season (moved out 18th December) wasn't ideal though I realised some time ago that it needed to happen. To say goodbye to Southampton I hosted a party and by that I mean I provided a house with music that generally only I liked and got very drunk surrounded by people I like and will miss. It felt good to have the turn out I did and I was pleasantly surprised by some presents including a last minute appearance from my ex housemate, who travelled from London to stay the weekend, and a pair of dead sparrows.
