Small Smudge Fan: Magpie

This medium smudge fan is made from a magpie wing, is set in cow hide handle and finished with a line of rabbit fur. The rabbit fur is from wild English rabbits which are managed as part of a wildlife conservation program.

Magpies are a very wild edgy kind of bird. They seem fearless when we watch them out in nature interact with other birds. No other bird comes close to their confident and pushy nature. When we watch the magpie behave in nature one of it’s most striking characteristics is it’s fearlessness. It has a real brashness and a confidence around other species of bird which is second to none. The energy of Magpie reminds us that we have this boldness deep within us too.

The making of our fans

We only ever source our feathers and wings ethically, from birds which have died in their natural environment, and never from birds which have been shot.

Our feathers and wings come from birds which have been killed by cars and are lying on the side of the road as we drive past, or from loose feathers and parts of wings we find when we are out and about walking the moors, woodlands or coastline.

The leather we use is from Red Deer in Scotland, or cowhide, and the Rabbit fur is from rabbits which are culled as part of a wildlife management project in England.
