Click Feathers by Joanne of Thread Head  to go to the challenge.... I have been practising and practising.

stitching

 

Here I tried some pointy lobes and tips and tucking some lobes behind.

Here's a funky feather

I found I really don't like my threads not showing

and this wasn't enough.

so I added more color

 

 

 

Here is another thread the same color and I do like it a bit better some tucking of lobes, pearls in some spines,different sizes and shapes of lobes and different fillers.

 

 

Thank you Joanne and SewCalGal playing with feathers has been fun.
