Beads and Bones, Feathers and Fibers

Do any of you save stuff like this:

 Rusted bits and sticks and bark,

 feathers and broken bits of pottery found along the river,

just interesting "stuff".

 Of course we can't forget the feathers, can't throw any of those away now can we?  No, of course not!  I'm trying to actually use some of these things, even if only to make something that I will stick out in the woods along my walking trails.
Saw this article in the most recent Quilting Arts magazine:

I wanted to make some of these cuties.  So I did.

Then I thought, what else can I cover with fabric or fibers?  and I found these old bones so did this with them:

I'm on a roll now!  Gotta go roll some more.
Be well.
