"Well Done! I really like the cut of those feathers."

Same here, they caught my eye pretty quick, even admiring the rest of the craftsmanship. What burner/feather shape are you using?

Stiks will have to chime in on the feather shape. I just used the one he had on the burner. Will call him later and see.

The pic makes them look metallic. The purple is dye.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Rob

That feather shape is just a partial banana cut, I shaped the front of the ribbon like a banana cut and didn't bring the back down as far. It leaves the natural angle of the feather on the back.

I think it's my favorite cut. I use it on most of my feathers.
