Feathers in corsages

[twiggy]

yep- I'm already thinking about prom!

for those of you who include feathers in your corsages- how do they hold up after you have put them in the cooler with all the moisture in the air? Do they clump together at all??
I usually spray my corsages with Crowning glory after I'm finished- But that won't work with feathers in there.. Sooo.. spray before? (will the glue stick with the CG??)

and just a little shout out to Sprout- I spent a few minutes this morning being inspired by your corsage work! If you haven't checked her corsages and bouts out on her blog yet- do so ASAP!

Some feathers are better than others with cg spray, the fluffy maribou type are no good..I usually gleue the corsage spray when flowers are in wait to dry then go back and do feathers...

and then into the cooler they go? do they get damp and clumpy in the cooler with the humidity?

Nope no problems with cooler humidity...not even on the maribou feathers...

another thing...

if you curl the feather and then put them in the cooler, they start to straighten out.
