She sees the potential in the discarded, history in the mundane and art in the everyday. She saves everything, makes anything and teaches from a place of passion and authenticity. Courtney believes everyone is creative and she'd rather spend an evening drinking tea and painting than doing anything else (except maybe scavenging treasures abroad). You can find her books online and at your local bookstore.

Courtney focuses on a single motif--the iconic feather--to create a variety of colorful, modern home dГ©cor projects. She constructs an ombre chandelier using paper feathers in shades of blue, and she also uses feather stencils in various sizes to add a splash of color to a pillow and a cocktail tray. To cut out the pieces for all of these projects, you can use a cutting machine like Cricut Exploreв„ў to speed up the process, or simply cut out the paper and stencils by hand with scissors or a craft knife--either method works great, and you will wind up with stunning results that add color and whimsy to your home.
