Editorial Reviews:
Product Description The Original RoseFeather is a hand crafted rose made up of 23 individually cut real goose feathers. Each individual rose takes over 20 minutes by a skilled artist to create entirely by hand. The production process is a delicate artform that takes years of practice and skill to perfect. It is a multi-stage process that uses specially designed scissors, tweezers and custom tools to create using exactly 23 feathers. The process takes the average artisan about 20 minutes from start to finish. A dozen roses takes 4 hours to create! The Original RoseFeather starts in the same place that a nice bed comforter starts...goose feathers. We harvest real goose feathers which start off pure white and get dyed to the colors of both the leaves and the RoseFeathers that are in season. For Valentine's Day each feather is dyed to a rich, ruby red color. The first step in producing a single rose starts with the green feathers. It takes 10 feathers and several tools to shape and connect the feathers to look like stem leaves. We use special angle scissors to create the jagged edges of leaves just like a real rose. The top of the stem has life-like sepals just as a real rose would have as well. Once the stem and leaves are formed, the corolla of the flower is created using 13 feathers and a patient hand. Just like a real rose, the petal cluster is very delicate. If squeezed, the shape of the rose is difficult to repair. The rose is the ethereal flower and should be treated gently to preserve its life. After assembly is completed, the fragrance of real roses is added to create to sense of a true rose. Hold it to your nose and you will smell the freshness of a bouquet of roses. Each gift box includes a certificate explaining the beauty of the RoseFeather and a little about the production process and how to care for your RoseFeathers?. You can add a personal message which will be placed inside each gift box.
