The tribal trend is everywhere this season and I showcased my take on this trend in the latest issue of VintageKC magazine.
Every issue, a handful of creative bloggers and artists are tasked with creating a craft around a theme. The theme for this issue was tribal.
Tribal may be on trend, but I’m much more of a neutral person. I tend to choose patterns for my home with great care—and sparingly. So, I wanted a small-scale project, where I could make something that I’d actually want to use in my home.
I choose to paint plain feathers in simple tribal patterns. This project turned out to be just enough tribal for me. The painted feathers display bold patterns, but on a small scale. I can easily stick them in vases or add them to vignettes without the look going over-the-top tribal.
If you want more details on how to make your own painted feathers, like the ones featured in the magazine, check out my painted feathers tutorial.
There are a bunch of other creative tribal projects featured in the magazine, so be sure to check those out. You can see them all online or check out the digital edition of the magazine.
