BR 3 Acton cash ing in by making feather Jewelry and Her biggest selling item right now is western hat bonds usually mode from pheasant feathers Matched necklaces stickpins combs and hat ties back up the hat band market and will take up the slack when and if western hats fall out of favor Kate works out of her kitchen on the farm oho and husband Roy inhabit north of Acton Space usually reserved for a breakfast nook is piled high with boxes beads pln3 a work desk and feathersmasses of feathers It t pay to sneeze in Kate Hale kitchen allergy sufferers beware All her creations are works of art but Kate s hat bonds are exquisite A cut above the usual feather decorations Kales bands consist of care fully matched feathers from each Bide of the contributing bird glued to suede bands trc of each band peaks to a pinnacle colorful symmetrical feathers forming a tiara effect Consisting almost exclusively of natural dyed feathers Kate bands sell for to Each one Is an original no two are alike Kate started this business a year ago after marrying and settling down In the country Prior to this she was a school librarian and dedicated traveller Now her trips are confined to marketing her goods which are sold from Toronto to St Coth arines Fortunately Ray Is in the western hat and boot sales business and so combines the two effectively Tired of city life and anting to work for her self Kate experimented with using feathers from oldfashioned dusters One thing led to another She met people who bred colorful birds lhU3 ensuring a supply of quality feathers Trial and error plus a great deal of patience produced a marketable line of products Katewasoffandrunnlng Most of her jewelry utilizes wide variety of pheasant feathers dens ring necks silvers and Reeves pheasants However light jewelry often rcquiroa the addition of dyed chicken Once in a while Kate manages to acquire partridge guinei fowl or peacock feathers for interesting variations She also uses from tropical birds bred by friends although she has to wait for birds to molt these Other are purchased still on the bird Kate has learned to skin birds herself tacking the feathered skin on a board to study natural patterns and obtain matching feathers The remainder of the bird is eaten either by Kate and Ray who enjoy pheasant breasts with sickening regularity or Jessie the dog who dines on exotic stews I use the whole bird s just like the Indian with the Buffalo thats how I justify it Kate comments Three years ago if anyone had told me Id end up like this she laughs shrugging at her chicken plucking kitchen Orders come in by the hundreds Kate has turned down several requests for mass produced Items Working alone enables her to put out a limited amount of quality products she explains Because she invests considerable lime and care in each Item we use mostly of tax dermis quality Kate is concerned what stores sell her goods Displaying them properly is crucial to proper salesmanship she feels adding It enhances her work when the public can enjoy it fully Most of her bands and arc set on a background of black velvet with focus lighting picking Better stores purchase the more expensive Items and make sure they re played well Kate is pleased with a new account from Ar cade hats in the Sheridan Centre Toronto Several account inquiries came as a result of her booth at horse show in Toronto recently Locally her work may be purchased through the Erin Craft Coop In Erin or from Kate herself Some of her earlier hat bands can be the Hide House What happens when the fickle fashion market forgets fea and embraces something else Well Ill scurry on to something new says Kate brightly Thats the beauty of this bus she adds theres minimal investment easy change However until feathers bite the dust Kate will continue plucking and gluing creating unique Kate Hale hat bands ijp JNljSibi m K rill Goaltender guilty of assaulting fan Mark Green the former Burlington for the Junior Cougars has been
