Feather Paintings

Of the many styles and mediums I work in, my feather art has by far gotten the most attention because of its unique qualities.

Copper Mine

Rising from the ore-rich earth on metallic wings, his scales glittering like a million tiny suns, the winged beast turned over in mid-air to skim the ground's blazing surface for precious gems, he himself, a living copper mine.

Feather Painting Commissions

2009 Feather Painting Commissions!
I am taking commissions! (You can follow some of my commission and painting work on my Ustream page: [link]) While each commission is priced on a piece by piece basis, be assured that my new prices are nothing more than fair. In fact, I'm still cheaper than most feather artists that I've seen. Following is some info on my prices and how commissions work:

Originals:
You get an original, one of a kind feather of your choice (Yes! I take commissions! Consider getting your favorite animal (fictional or realistic), your pet, or even your name painted on a feather.)

Framing:
I have a couple of different sizes that my paintings come in. My paintings technically range from anything very small to very large, but for the most part I'd like to keep it simple (note me for additional sizes). Our most popular sizes start at 8x10 and go all the way up to 12x18. They are really large feathers when you think about it! Other sizes that are much smaller or even larger than these are, of course, possible, but I'll deal with these kinds of commissions on an individual basis. All of my feather paintings are professionally matted and framed shadowbox style, mostly with velvet matting, which looks awesome! We use very nice, high-quality frames.

Prices:
While I am unable to put a set price on something that would be a commission, because of the varying complexities of each subject, I can give you a very close estimate:

Regular sized, simple paintings: $135 (if you are in the US, this includes shipping)
Example:[link]
This includes an original painting with the subject of your choice, as long as the subject is not too complex. By this, I mean that on a smaller painting such as this, it is difficult to fit in a lot of detail, so be prepared to limit the subject to smaller animals or portraits of them (from the shoulders up). The painting will be framed and matted shadow box style, then shipped to you. The above price includes shipping as long as you are in the United States. International shipping will cost a little extra.

Larger, more complex paintings (14x20, 14.5x24, or similar) $170
Example:
These are by far the nicest of the paintings because of their size and the complexity in which I can paint the subject. These are typically paintings done on several of the gargantuan turkey tail feathers as a fan of 2 or more. Larger, more detailed, portraits, or full animal paintings are possible here. As always, The painting will be framed and matted shadow box style in one of our beautiful frames, usually paired with velvet matting. We like to also adorn the feather paintings with smaller decorative feathers, leather cord, and beads. The finishing painting will be shipped to you. The above price includes shipping as long as you are in the United States. International shipping will cost a little extra.

Other:
Sizes smaller or larger than the above mentioned can be discussed on an individual basis. Please note me and I'd be happy to talk with you!

NOTE: If you'd like something a little less complex that would fit your budget better, I can work with you! :D






Prints
I am still working on getting an easy to use system together for purchasing prints. I may need to create a separate web page aside from DA in order to display them all properly with prices. If there is a particular piece you have your eye on, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

"Dittin does absolutely beautiful work on the paintings. She works every step of the way with you. She asks you what pose you want, the colour scheme, and size of the work you want.

The price includes the paint, feathers, leather strapping, beads, extra feathers, matting, framing, and shipping. All of the supplies are wonderfully cordinated to match. I had the wonderful oppertunity to see my painting done live on Ustream. Dittin is extreamly prfessional, and asked for my input every step of the way to make my painting truly one-of-a-kind.

The price of her artwork is more than reasonable. Everything matches beautifully! The framing is beautifully done, and give the whole thing an antique charm that is at home in any setting.

The whole experiance left me comfortable in the knowledge that my painting would be done in a fashion that I would be proud to show off. =D I would definately recommend her to anybody! In fact, if I had the money, I'd comission her again. :D"

:icontsumeuchiha: said:

"I really must say Dittin's feather paintings are amazing! Ever since I first saw her DA page I've always wanted one of her paintings but never had what I thought was enough money. Then when she started using Ustream and painting her feathers on there I just had to get one of my character Tsume. She was amazing and got the first one done in one night! After that I just had to get another one(especially when she told me how much she loved my character's
tail).

Her prices where more affordable than I had guessed and she's more then willing to work with you on the pricing. She puts her all into creating a one of a kind master piece that you'll be proud to show off to all of your friends. Plus, being able to watch her paint your commission is a bonus that Dittin features. Her commissions are definitely worth more then what she charges. I highly recommend getting a commission(or more then one) from her. you won't be disappointed."

No stream tonight: Framing

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 9, 2009, 5:58 PM



I'm excited to be finally working on framing and matting my paintings myself! I've already started one and I will be finishing up that framing tonight. I'm trying something completely new with these! Therefore, I'll be using the time I'd usually use for streaming tonight to be working on that. Sorry guys, I will be back to stream later on this week.

I'll post pics of the finished framing job when I'm done. I think you'll like it. :D
