Finally uploaded content for Feath & Kee's You Tube Channel!

I set up a You Tube Channel for Feath & Kee a really, really long time ago.  I kept waiting to have time to master the process of creating a video.  Well, I can be patient, but decided what the heck, and just made a couple.

Here is the first one....





I needed to make some new fabric labels. Forgive the shakiness etc., this is definitely a work in progress!

How to Wear it Wednesday 6.22.16



Whew! It. Is. HOT!!! lol Sorry about that y'all, but no matter how much you think that you are ready for Summer here in Texas, you are never completely prepared when it hits.  This week, I put together an outfit that I think will at least make you look cool.

Thanks to the rain that we have had, everything is still green despite the heat.  This key chain is a new addition to our shop, and was inspired by all of the green leaves.  I started out with reclaimed pine, burned the veins, then finished with acrylic paint. Before I sealed everything with clear acrylic, I added a layer of green glitter, so has some sparkle.

How to Wear it Wednesday 6.1.16




Hi guys!  Not only is this the first day of June, it also happens to be the first week of Summer Vacation for us.  This has put me in the mind to put together a Summer outfit.  Everything featured this week is from TEMPT Team members (awesome group of people) on Etsy. You can check out all the member shops here.

Reclaimed Wood Key Chain from Feath and Kee
Reclaimed Wood Key Chain from Feath & Kee




The item from our shop this week is a positive message key chain that really just took on a shape and form of it's own. After burning the design, it really seemed to be missing something, so I added a light stain of acrylic paint.

Life's A Beach Candle from Penelope and Lou
Life's A Beach Candle from Penelope & Lou





What a better way to gear up for Summer, than with the Life's A Beach candle from Penelope & Lou. All of their candles and wax melts are hand-poured from soy wax.  In addition to being way better for the environment (and you!), I have recently learned that soy wax is a lot easier to clean up than regular wax.  In addition to their Etsy shop, you can also find them here.










Beaded Wire Wrap Bracelet from Stink N Cute Creations

I love the beautiful carnival of colors of this beaded bracelet from Stink "N" Cute Creations.  It is made with memory wire, so you can adjust it to get the exact fit and and effect that you are looking for.

The intricate swirls and curls of this pendant from Karen J Jewelry have been made from oxidized copper.  I don't believe it would be possible to replicate this one of a kind piece.  It comes with a leather cord.















That's it for this week!
