They're coated in Borax powder, as this seems to be the way one would preserve them (according to Google).
I once saw a wreath made from wings, and it was so beauitful. You could really see the pattern of the feathers, and the way the colors changed in the light.
So, I'm hoping to make one for myself, and one for the hunter's wife. We'll see ... I'm a tad bit paranoid about getting them preserved enough so as to not smell bad later!
Google seems to indicate that they need to sit in the Borax for 60 days, so look for an update on this project in a couple months. (Or not ... if things start to smell bad around here, and it heads for the dumpster in the dark of night!) :)

"Honey, have you noticed that 'smell'.
"Yes dear. I hired an exterminator at great cost. He said it is not a dead rat -- as we had feared. But he asked what we know about the neighbor. I said, 'oh, neighbor ******. She's nice... Keeps to herself mostly. Why?"
Doesn't smell! Ria said I'm doing it right - so there! And she's got all KINDS of dead stuff in HER house. :)
Hmmm ... wait ... maybe that didn't come out just right ...
