Using realistic materials and processes has proven this to be quite an expensive project so far.
Here is a summary of what I have spent:
Brass etchings, (3*A4 at 0.3mm thick, + tooling + postage) = £105.00
Duck feathers dyed kingfisher blue * 28 = £2.56
Kingfisher wing covert feathers * 10 = £7.80
Kingfisher wing feathers * 20 = 17.00, (+ 10 free)
Glue: had
Braso: had
Tools: had
There are currently more feathers in the post at a cost of £9.30.
Still, compared to an original piece this is extremely cheap ! Surviving hairpieces can be found on ebay in varying conditions for hundreds of pounds. A piece as big as my hairclip would cost thousands today.
