Public interest in these small carvings
was strong and requests began for these pieces alone, to be used for
jewelry or other ornamentation. Over the years the process has been
further refined and developed, evolving into the unique and
specialized process I use today. Each piece is strong enough to be
worn practically, without unnecessary concern about breakage.
Ring-Necked Pheasant Tail
Imported
from China and found mostly in the central temperate plains of
North America, the wild Ring Necked Pheasant population has
actually stemmed from a number of sub-species, most of which
were imported by sportsmen for hunting. The long tail and
striking rust, bronze and oranges of the male, makes
this game bird a favorite.
The Hen is much less conspicuous marked in mottled browns and
grays with less dramatically long tail feathers. Short and broad
wings are built for quick jumps and short gliding flights.
Pheasants actually prefer to stay on the ground and out run
danger, relying only on short flights when absolutely necessary.
