Announcement
I have finally brought my site back up after a very long hiatus since 2020, the pandemic made me stop all sales but I recently have been making some accessories and have had requests to put them in my shop for easier viewing. I am still taking custom orders so please message me if you have some ideas you want to bring to reality!

5 out of 5 starsI love all of this artist's products! I'm not just biased because she's a friend, but her love, talent & attention to detail is absolutely incredible. 10/10 highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsI have never had such a good customer experience before getting in touch with Michelle. Her professionalism, commitment, passion, skills and generosity are unique. I am lucky to have had access to her art. Right after ordering the Mohawk Michelle contacted me to know more about the context, tell me the options and give me advice. I received an AMAZING customized Mohawk. This is because Michelle treats each piece of art as a unique creation, putting the customer at heart. I wore the Mohawk for 10 days at Burning Man 2019, it was both practical and comfortable. Not one single feather dropped. Both fixation systems are working very well and are esthetic. I am not exaggerating by saying that tons of people at BM starred at the art and asked me where this was from.

5 out of 5 starsThe Dirty Bird Bag of Tricks worked great for some wing feathers I had. But I want to talk about my custom order for a headdress that Birdie made for me. This headdress is special because it incorporates both North American and South American cultural shamanism. I added the eye mask, but will need to get a darker red or black fringe. I can't say enough about this headdress! It is perfectly beautiful. I wish everyone could see it in person. Thank you Birdie! I will be ordering from you again!

5 out of 5 starsI wish I had words beautiful enough to describe my headdress and this shop owner, Michelle. Michelle designed the headdress for my jungle-themed, costume wedding -- a cockatoo. The piece had intricate pearls, a leather overlay on the clip, MANY feathers, and IT LIT UP via remote. It was amazing. A true work of art. I felt beautiful. I sincerely wish I could wear it every day. Michelle made my tight deadline, and worked around the clock to make me happy. She is thoughtful and puts incredible effort into her work. You should, without a doubt, but your headpiece from Michelle. It's a clip and it's light, even though she fills it with beautiful feathers. My hairdresser put it in for me, but I'm sure I could do it alone - especially because Michelle will send you many videos and instructional PDFs.

5 out of 5 starsThis piece is my ABSOLUTE favorite. Michelle made it in exactly the colors I wanted, rock-n-roll 80s fabulous teals and magentas, long feathers down the back, cut up iridescent CD pieces reflected the light. Her work is easy to wear and full of love -- a real artist. I've DEFINITELY already recommended her to other friends who are planning to order their own soon.

5 out of 5 starsMichelle is an absolute star – she put 150% care into creating the perfect piece for me, working late through the night with a hurricane headed her way to deliver exactly what I dreamed of wearing to Burning Man. She was a joy to work with and the piece itself is AMAZING. Comfortable, easy to wear, lit-up with LEDs to stand out. I will 100% be buying form her again, and recommending to friends.

Frequently asked questions
Feather Mohawks - How secure is the clip?
I provide hair ties and step by step instructions along with a video on how to wear your mohawk. Once it's on - it's ON! In fact, they were designed to be able to withstand dust storms at Burning man! It is a piece that can literally be worn all day - I even slept in mine once. If you follow the instructions on how to wear it and really secure it in place(super tight hair ties, extra hair gel!!!), you should not have any problems with it falling off. I also can add an adjustable strap if you have little to no hair or would like the option at your request.
Feather Mohawks: My hair is short, bald or I have a very sensitive scalp so I prefer a strap as opposed to a clip.
If there is no drop down option in the listing, just let me know in notes during checkout and I will add an adjustable strap to your mohawk.
Feather Mohawks and Headdresses: Just how custom can you make my piece?
If you can think it up, I can make it! Contact me to discuss if you do not see what you are looking for. I love to take on new projects. More examples of my work can be found at www.facebook.com/artfromtheheART or feel free to add me at facebook.com/artisticalshell and take a look through my albums or tagged photos of people proudly the pieces I have made for them!
Can I see it before you ship it?
Yes! At your request, I will email you a photo of the exact one you will be getting before I send it out so that I get your seal of approval! I can also Skype, Facetime or send you a video at your request.
How many changes can I make after you show me a photo of my piece?
I don't place a limit on perfection. I will make as many changes as necessary until you are happy with it! Extra charges may apply if you request something that is going to take a lot longer to create or if it has to be special ordered.
How much will my feather mohawk or headdress weigh?
They're actually quite light - as feathers!
+Smaller feather mohawks are about 2.5-4 ounces
+Larger Mohawks are about 6-9 ounces.
+Headdresses can be anywhere between 6-1.5 pounds depending on what materials are used. 95% of the time they are always under a pound.
How long before I receive my piece?
Please allow about 1-4 weeks for me to get it made for you and shipped out so you can rock this baby out on the town, party, rave, festival, carnival, mardi gras, photoshoot, concert, New Years Eve, Halloween - anywhere you want to WOW people and turn heads, this is what you need!!!
NOTE: If you need it by a specific day sooner than the 2-4 week waiting period, please let me know so we can work something out. 95% of the time I can make it within the time period that you need, as soon as a next day turnaround!
What company do you use for shipping?
US ORDERS: Once it it ready, unless otherwise specified I will ship your item via USPS Priority Shipping which takes about 3-5 business days. If it is time sensitive I will send via USPS Priority express which takes 2 days to arrive. If you would like to use FedEx or UPS please let me know, additional charges will apply.
Everywhere else: I use registered mail, which takes 6-10 business days. If this is time sensitive then I can send via Global Express shipping for an additional fee and takes about 5 business days to ship as long as customs does not hold your item back. UPS and FedEx are also options for an additional fee.
Feather Mohawk: How Do I wear it? (with clip)
Detailed instructions on how to wear your feather mohawks built on a clip can be found in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT6xsgoGO5o
Once it's on, you rest be assured that it will be on securely and comfortably - I've even forgotten that I have it on sometimes! Holds on tightly with a with a banana clip & hair ties (included). No headband needed! This is something you can wear to a party and swing your head in any direction without feeling like it might fall off! FUN!
Can I use UPS or FedEx instead of USPS?
Absolutely! Let me know which company you prefer to ship. Additional charges may apply.
