The piece both has feather shapes and utilizes a tapestry technique called hachure that resembles feathers to introduce shading into the piece. This piece has rainbow stripes as a background color and kelly green, red, gold, mint, turquoise, light blue, cerise, peach, rust, orange, and teal included in its design. It uses mixed dyes, which means that at least some of these yarns are from natural dyes, and some of these yarns were hand dyed or commercially dyed.
