. The Chinese traditional feather marquetry technic consists of fixing natural feathers (undyed ones only) to a support, one by one, with the help of a small brush and traditional glue made of animal and vegetal components. To make this collar fastening, I used FengHuang - a gracious and altruistic bird who brings quietude and good fortune to anyone who glimpses at him - as inspiration. In the Chinese mythology, the very symbolic description of this imaginary bird compares him, mostly, to five existing birds: the crane, the rooster, the duck, the peacock and the pheasant. It is also said that his plumage is made of the five colors that represent harmony: blue, red, yellow, green and white. This feather marquetry, giving a personal interpretation of the FengHuangs representation, has thus been created with natural feathers of those five birds in those five very colors. .
