Smudge fan, goose feathers with leather handle

This smudge fan has been carefully crafted in our home on the edge of Anglezarke in Lancashire. The wing is from a goose which was killed in a collision with a car. The fan is set in cow hide and finished with a line of rabbit fur, which is from wild english rabbits which are managed as part of a wildlife conservation programme.

Goose energy

The overarching energy of Goose is altruism. Goose positions itself for the greater good of its community. Goose has a willingness to do things that bring advantages to others, even if it results in a disadvantage for itself. Take the flight formation of geese as an example. They take it in turns to fly in front, meaning the lead goose has to work harder and therefore at greater cost to itself so that the rest of the gaggle do not need to work as hard.

About the making of our smudge 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 cow hide, and the rabbit fur is from rabbits which are culled as part of a wildlife management project in England
