Feathers for trad bustle
Hey everyone, I was wondering what feathers would be best as a substitute for eagle feathers or hawk feathers on a bustle? Also I was wondering where I could get these feathers.
Thanks everyone! |

Really ? It looks like the same pic , only closer. Send that to me for a few days and I'll send it back looking good ! Right now , it looks depressing ! Sorry , just how I see it !
The right side sets higher than the left , the distance between the feathers is way off (not uniform) , the uprights are bent ! How do the uprights get bent ? Mine are fiberglass rods , they don't bend. My others are copper tubing , they could bend , but it would take some serious effort !Some of the feathers need preened out.....Take pride in it. You want that to look good ! Really , I'm not trying to be mean , when you enter the dance arena , you should be proud , not just of yourself , but your outfit as well.

It also depends on what kind of bustle you build. A mess bustle would use a lot smaller feathers , while a big swing bustle or round bustle need larger feathers.

And I use #12 or #14 gauge wire. At least on the newer ones. Back when I learned how to build bustles , we made a solid backboard with permanent uprights. We use copper tubing cause we could bend it to the shape we wanted. They are covered with otter and attached with small bolts. And they still break down pretty easy , just not as easy as the newer style.

and for petes sake get rid of the chimayo decorative rug as the trailer......put that thing back on the shelf under your knick-knacks where it belongs
it was woven in chimayo new mexico....i'm absolutely sure of it, i recognize it anywhere...... very likely by someone of indo-hispanic background......its a course wool that feels soft compared to navajo weavings.......i can tell just by design and fringe very far from ojibwe-land...........makes no sense to put itg on there unless you are dancing at boyscout events makes as much sense as using a navajo rug for a smokedance dress

i dunno....but maybe he should make his own trailer and style after the northern bustle wearing tribes......so instead of weaving it would likely be made of tradecloth or gaberdine and more importantly styled after the bustle wearing tribe.....having a pueblo weaving as a trailer is tacky, especially when its a decorative mini rug
