Rob Knisely 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 Don't worry, Daryn, that's just my arm! The legs are feathers (speckled hen, colored a little with marker) with the barbs trimmed close to the stem, then varnished. You have to trim the barbs to a length that each overlaps half of the next barb when the varnish is applied and the barbs lay "flat" to get the shape. I still didn't get it quite right... maybe next time! Couple more images: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
