Feathers seem like very interesting canvas's x3 Looks very hard though xD

Once you spray them with fixative, its like any normal canvas, without spraying it constantly moves and parts.

What do you mean "not good!?" 
What's the market for feather painting? I see it pop up here and there around the web, but I've never seen a real life display. What do you DO with a painted feather?

Ive never seen them on sale but ive seen leaf paintings (same concept but on eucalyptus leaves or any awkward shaped leaf) and they were selling anywhere from $25 - $50 depending on the size of the leaf, and they were in frames too. So im sure the artist wasnt getting too much profit, but im sure not many would pay any higher at a market stall for such a small trinket like that.
Haha no idea what someone would do with a painted feather, maybe just put it on the desk or mount it? Already mine are laying around in some unforsaken place on my desk.

Nah, once you spray the feather with fixative it is just like a canvas, the feather doesnt split or move then.
