Other than delicious recipes do you have any other plans for the boys? I
was thinking the feathers would be grace various designs in the future?
or past as the case may be?

I certainly intend skinning them but have no plans. The feathers, in situ,
are splendid: green, blue, purple according to the light. But individually
they're simply black. They haven't developed long sickle feathers yet.

    ... I enlarged the photo of the book cover and discovered that rather than the traditional way of making feathers with backtracking or another way that has the feathers not touching each other, the author has reduced the work by making the feathers in a series of 'hooks' rather like a fish hook shape. ... First of all I played with traditional shape feathers, that were just a little bit rounder which avoids the back tracking, I threw then into the mix when quilting a small quilt with lots of random filler shapes. ... The book "Freehand Filler Designs" by Sue Pattern takes a similar approach, though she doesn't really talk about how to do them, it's more a book of ideas. ...
