Duck Feathers


Kitty built the fur and feather skin for the duck. She first covered the shell with masking tape, and then after cutting it along logical seam lines, unpeeled it to make a pattern to sew a fake fur jacket. If you were to join up the cut edges, the shape would be the same as the duck. The process would be similar to peeling an orange but keeping the peel in one piece.

For the wings she used bird feathers, and layered them - just like bird wings.
