I think they look great! A red sharpie where the red splice meets the crest would take care of that transition. Good job!

Thanks guys, maybe they're better than I thought.I just had a hard time getting the feathers to "velcro" together on a couple.Annoys the crap out of me, but I'm slightly OCD anyhow.Thanks for all the kind words!My wife saw this and of course said " I told you so"   :)

STEAM THEM you will be surprized how a little steam (from a tea pot) can help the feathers lay together
