Holy Cow, Norm. Those are gorgeous.

Re: Jays
I agree!
Did you use a wing burner or trim by hand?
I would love to show those to Salmo salar
Re: Jays
natural feather from eurasian jay wings. no burner used. i just trimmed off the fluff at the base of the feather

Re: Jays
Golly, those are drop dead gorgeous. I've never seen one dressed with a blue body. That is my new favorite.
Superb...

Re: Jays
