It's Crow Time 
Luscious and Lovely!! ox
thanks Marg it was quite a demanding one to make, have just added some detail shots.
Great shot … love the angle on this
thanks Liz, it feels like a divining rod for something!
Your work is beautiful Mo.
thanks Wendy I’m not totally rapt in this one I need to draw for a bit…
I love that there is a guitar string in this.
me too!
Mo, could you send me an email please. I have just updated to Windows 10 and now I do not have your address…along with other stuff. It is probably there somewhere; I just haven’t found it yet.
Thanks/
no worries (((Eliene))) hope the update goes smoothly!
Beautiful work, Mo! Let me know if you need any more mother of pearl buttons! xxx
last year a friend gave me a big bag of vintage buttons (& the most fabulous antique lace and linen) from her mother’s haberdashery shop in the late 70’s in Germany so I have plenty for this lifetime!
love this, and it must smell lovely. that eelskin feather in the last pic looks gorgeous.
hmmm, I agree it looked better as potential rather than the finished product… birds are so cool, they make new feathers every year & give us the cast offs, weave brilliant nests and they can fly!
I think the finished feather is gorgeous too..it just looks so sensual in that last pic..the shiny skin. we’ve got a garden full of birds in our new place…hoping they kindly leave lots of feathers for dream catchers.
thanks for the good words Sue, am in one of those weird in-between spaces where the hand eye coordination is a bit off… gardening helps a lot!
A well scented beauty…………
& now it’s time to make a new Crow Book for Old Man Crow
You seem quite unsure about this, Mo, but I think it’s magnificent. ((((Mo))))
well thanks Carol, the good thing about this one is what I learned making the feather is going into the leather feather for the next crow book for Old Man Crow!
