Beautiful, It’s an odd one though. Digging on the wolves.
Yay… one of the first 5 to comment!
This is one amazing list, I wonder how the painter does all this!
This is another one of those times the proves you can google anything, keep hitting next, and find *****. Ugh! There’s no hope. 20 Sites, 600 photos, I still couldn’t find it. It’s 6 am, and I’ve got a lease to sign. I’ll try again later.
Amazing!
nice, at first i’m like “paintings on feathers….”
yeah, kind of a wierd list, but it probably takes some serious skill to paint that well on a feather.
Cool!!
Looks like a top 30 list to me…
true, phunniemee, true.
A beautiful way to start the day, Jamie.
Props to heavybison.
Amazing. The talent that this world posseses is impressive.
The detail on those is beautiful. The shadowing and other effects are very well done. Lots of patience, training, and skill must go into each one.
Wow they’re all so beautiful! I love the one with wolves- number 6. The shadows on the ground are perfect.
Wow, pretty cool, at first i was like wtf!?! but this is a pretty cool list!
Were these all done by the same person? They are amazing though.
Wow!! I wish I had this kind of talent..
I love the geese one in #7!!
Wow. Remarkable. That’s all I can say. Wow.
They’re nice, but how is this a “Top 10″? Did you do any research on other feather paintings to narrow it down to these? I don’t want to see List Universe turn into Random Stuff Universe.
These are really awesome, but does anyone know why they’re grouped together?
you can tell this site is going downhill because this list is entirely about feathers.

this from someone who’s email is theass@__.com
this is kind of a lame list just being honest
well there is a difference between criticizing the site on the basis of one list and thinking a list is lame. its like anything else..each to his own. given the amount of lists, i’m sure anyone can find at least one list to their liking. if the amount of traffic and commenting is any indication, i’d say a hella lotta folks have found this site to be quite entertaining.
and as always, anyone is welcome to submit a list for consideration of publication.
Today I went to Oxford and Blenheim Palace – it is the first time I have been out of the house in one month because of my efforts writing lists. I am sorry you don’t like this one but I liked the art and thought others might – and a graphics only list meant I could really have the time to enjoy my day off.
Good list Jamie. I am from london as well. i have a friend name jamie frater in my school. when i first read this website, i thought it was my friend jamie… Anyway goodlist.
i am regular user of this website but could not be bothered to register lol.
WoW that must have taken a LOT of patience, they’re beautiful
Awesome!
Takes a lot of skill and patience to paint that much detail on feathers like that. Totally cool.
I thought it was an interesting list…thanks for all your hard work…go have some fun!!
wow cool list again! I hope you had a great day off from all your hard work here
I thought this was a really awesome list.
Thank you JFrater.
It is amazing the level of talent some people have.
you know I think its pretty sad that people come on here and see a list that they don’t like and comment that the “site is going downhill”.
I think this kind of thing is amazing and I love to enjoy looking at and appreciating someone else’ talent.
If all you critics think you can do better than send Jfrater in some lists.
I believe he has a full time job besides putting out 2 to 3 lists a day
Give the guy a break. These lists are not that easy to put together, believe me I know I am working on one.
This lists needs no ranking.
They are all equally awesome.
Number 6 with the wolves is my favorite,
these are amazing.
Wow, these paintings are like a dog walking on two legs – they’re remarkable not because they’re done well but that they’re done at all.
worst
list
ever…
sorry but c’mon, paintings on feathers?
that is the defenition of lame!
That’s Jamie needing a day off.
Oh ***** you jack, jesus. People who say lame are doushe bags anyways. why don’t you write a list before you start complaining about how horrible other ones are ya dick
wow – so much anger on the list
Let’s focus on the feathers until I get a new list up for today! I have had my one day off in 2 months, so now I will get back to work 
wowa………….dats beautiful……….bt..has some1 noticed dt 2 get dese feathers how many birds might b killed……..fer just mere feathers…….
n im damn sure dey r nt collected dropped feathrs cuz deyr firm n spoilt………..
hahahaha
Ranger, did you make this? Either way, you are making yourself look foolish by defending this list… think about it, this site has epic lists almost every day, so when i visit the site and see the latest list is about paintings on feathers, i’m going to be disappionted.
o and i’m not sure why you don’t like my word choice, but lame fits this list accurately, here’s the defenition:
weak; inadequate; unsatisfactory; clumsy: a lame excuse.
AJ: please use English – not the abbreviated language you are using.
I loved this list. The painting are not just beautiful, but also introduce us to another form of native art, like sand painting, the cave paintings in France, totem carving, and on and on and on.
I’m wondering if those who disregard these extraordinary paintings have any talents of their own…but I doubt it.
Jamie: Your fans adore, but you need some time off. We don’t need you going al Britney on us.
how do you even paint on a feather?well i did when i was young but that more ivolved in dipping the feather in red paint then leaving it to watch pokemon and forgeting about it forever.how do they stop the fibres from moving while painting?freezing?
LOL! The wonders of insomnia!!
2am red rimmed eyes crack open: “Dammit! 2am AGAIN!! Hmmm… Should I carve the Sistine Chapel out of a match stick tonight or paint another landscape on a pin head?… Wait a minute! Native American iconography on feathers!! …Painted with a single horse’s hair of course!…”
Only thing is, this should really be a list of the top ten paintings on feathers from DIFFERENT artists, not the same artist. Then it’s just a sample of the 10 best paintings this artist has done on feathers…
How widespread is this artform?
Good addition to the site as usual!
Do they just start painting directly onto the feather, or do they paint it with white paint or something first to keep the… feather thingies together?
Nice little list. Lots of birds on those feathers. LOL
Please Jack.Remove your head from your *edit*.This list certainly brightened up my day.While you have the right to your own opinion i certainly dont see what gives you the right to ***** on someone elses work considering that i havnt seen anything by you on this site yet(correct me if im wrong).According to yourself or at least what i made out from that last comment of yours you use this site to gratify yourself and expect to be satisfied for free.Well you see thats not the sole purpose of this site.Essentially you are complaining of restaurant giving out free food because you dont like the flavour.
Wow these are gorgeous! I thought this list was about paintings done about feathers but it’s so much cooler!
I see they let you out for the day Mike Giggler, maybe its time to crawl back under your rock
Mike Giggler..your comments are in moderation. stop it!
nice list, i love the one with the wolves on #6. great list
also, i would like to say that i stumbled uppon this site a few months ago and i love it, keep up the good work!!
Amazing! Not only can she paint, but she can paint on feathers without ruffling them up. Which makes me wonder, does she put some kind of lacquero n the feather beforehand to ‘stiffen’ it up
Wow-that’s insane! What an interesting medium for an artist! I can only imagine what kind of eye strain that would ensue.
okay. a little bizarre. but neat nonetheless
Here’s a site of another artist who paints on feathers:

Very cool website.
Thank you for sharing.
where i can buy this thing ?it’s prety
WOW
Help. I can’t count!
and are these the “top” paintings on feathers, or the “only” paintings on feathers?
Wow, I never even knew this type of art existed. It must take a truly patient person.
Cool to see someone else who appreciates the usage of the natural BARRED peafowl feathers for Native American art! Natural barred peafowl feathers are one of my favorite choices to use too. I can’t count the number of times I’ve asked people who had peafowl or were selling pea*****tail feathers, if they also had the barred or the black feathers with whitish areas near the quill end, and was told that “nobody ever wants those, everyone wants the typical “eye” pea*****tail feathers!” The blackish ones with the tinge of white on them make good natural imitation eagle feathers, with the added attraction of being iridiscent in the sun!
Also cool to see someone else who likes the challenge of doing realistic lifelike Native American art instead of the too-common geometric stuff!
Julie, I’m guessing you are like me….that you enjoy the challenge of creating something that looks so real that it could step off of the feather!
