Title: my first membrane spliced&burned feathers
Post by: on March 25, 2012, 09:50:00 PM
its really not very cost effective to do this,..I DONT THINK SO!
I waisted a lot of feathers doing these, and i dont think feathers are as good as they used to be,(pretty thin and flimsy)..but i had to try.

It's always fun to try something new, they turned out really well!  Enjoy shooting them.

Looks good - particularly with the tracers.

May not be cost effective in terms of wastage or man-hours, but once you've caught the bug it's hard to go back to plain feathers - they just seems to lack character.
