Funky Bottle Turkey

If you have read the previous blog by The Cranky Queen, you know that she has a "gander for the gobblers!"  Vintage turkeys only...her collection is quite extensive & she continues her search throughout the year for the odd & unusual. The above photo is depicts the "funky turkey".

To really understand the "birth" of this turkey, I need to back up to 2011 Country Living Market~Stone Mtn., Georgia...The Cranky Queen & her gal pal, Duchess Melanie are strolling the booths when they come across a box full of turkey heads...yes, you read correctly TURKEY HEADS! Various types, basically all the same size, some with stoppers attached...what were they? The corks of Wild Turkey Sample Whiskey Decanters.  So they each pilfered the box until they found a dozen or so of the "perfect turkey heads."  Their friend, Wise Wicked Wanda, thought they were crazy...thus the funky turkey was born!

 The turkey's wings are made from old keys & the body an old bottle~

A cute little pearl collar clip attaches to the key wings!

 The Queen filled the bottle with feathers~not turkey feathers, but hey, cute feathers!

The head dressing is constructed using brown boa feathers & the neck of the bottle is adorned with vintage gold fringe from some old curtains & a ratty burgundy covered button!

Wise Wicked Wanda received a funky turkey hand~made by the Cranky Queen...and she accepted in gracefully!  Too bad, we could not read her thoughts! LOL

Before the Turkey Head Hunt!

STAY CALM & DO THE "FUNKY TURKEY"!
