kusmaulk Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 That was the back. Here is a close up of the back. some of my bumps are pretty wobbly, but the overall effect is nice. The batting is wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoriasews Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 These are your beginning feathers? My first feathers looked like the bird had met head on with a semi. You have a feathery future ahead of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusmaulk Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Linda, I think this closeup will show you how I did the blocks. I made a cardboard template of the spine to trace, then freehanded from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
