They're pheasant feathers! Really long pheasant feathers. Compare: 



String real pheasant feathers on a wire core? If you trim sections of feather and match them up to get sufficient length, this might work.

It is possible to buy extra long pheasant feathers - up to 60"! They're expensive though.

I guess the Fresno trip took more out of me than expected. I didn't really do very much today at all. I did think about attempting to attend the Solano Stroll after receiving a nudge from [livejournal.com profile] karisu_sama, but getting to this popular street fair is such a chore that I've missed it three years running - nowhere to park nearby and the shuttles from BART set off my agoraphobia. In other words, it smacked of too much effort. 

I did catch Almost Famous on cable. I'd forgotten how much I liked this movie. And the latest episode of Real Time. (One of Maher's guests this week was Salman Rushdie, an author whose work I very much enjoy.)

I also added some links on sca-jml. I did want to put up some links to items on Clan Yama Kaminari's website under the appropriate subject headers, only to start hitting rampant 404 errors.  Pooh. I say again, pooh.
