Very nice, a good example of less is more.  

Thank you niveker 😄  The hardest part for me with this one was tying in the feathers on each side of the fur and ostrich barbs. You had to tie them in one at a time and try to get them to stay vertical and even with each other after wrapping the thread to tighten down.

Regards,

                    Mark

Thank you - it was a good to hole up and think of spring. It’s a bit rough outside here in Massachusetts.
