Hi Tom,

Your first feather turned out really nice!

As for the powder Jim mentioned, if there are stores that cater to scrap bookers over there, you might want to try them. My wife has some powders called Pearl Ex that work well mixed into paint, or into super sheen. They give a cool "shimery" look when trying to paint phesant (or buffalo) feathers. I think you might really like some of the metalic powders for some of the coloring you do on your bracers too. Here's a link just to show you what is available and a little of what you can use them on.

Thank you Clay!!

Those look really interesting, we'll see what economy allows this winter. I'm gonna have a really tight budget from now.

There's is a good online Swedish store for this kind of stuff and I think they have some of those products but prolly other brands so gonna have a looksee there.

So when did you move to the States Tom?????????????? (just a little "our economy sucks" humor there!!)

It looks great!!! ....and you should wear it in your hat. I think I'll have to do one for my hat too.

The one thing I have never understood is why do some call them ravens and others crows????

I've never called them ravens in my life......always crows. I think its a geographic/regional thing more than anything.

'Cause I'm pretty sure its the same bird!!!

Good Job TOM!!!!!!!!

Thank you Tim!!!

Ha ha sorry to say my economy situation is not out of sympathy with you guys;-) but a result of a few bad decisions but off course your economy will to some degree affect mine too.

I'm sure this one will find it's way to someone who really appreciates it and I will make more of them but I'm sure they will all head the same way;-) but I'm thinking about maybe ganging up a bunch in my entrance hall. Good therapy job to make those since I hav lots of looow and blue days at the moment.

For a viking there is a BIG difference between a crow and raven, answer lays in Norse mythology but I can say this, sitting silent in the forrest hidden from the ravens eyes and just listen to two of them talk to each other is fantastic and seeing one up close...they're quite alot bigger than a crow.

Here's an interesting article on the Crow & the Raven, interestingly the Raven lives for 30yrs compared to a Crows lifespan of 8 years - http://www.diffen.com/difference/Crow_vs_Raven
