  6. Looks great Robyn, I think the last time we worked together a feather also reared its beautiful self. They are so delicate and precise at the same time.

  7. Thanks Jack - yes still have a thing for printed feathers - I am continually amazed that, even though they are organic, they don't break down or lose their form like other organic things once they leave the body they have grown from. So delicate, but so strong. A true wonder of the universe!!!!!
