Very recognisable as a magpie feather!

A beautiful feather!

It’s good Fiona, maybe a little drop of Viridian Green would do the trick. Lol

It's the magic of the natural world which is so hard to capture . Love the soggy raggedyness of it, Fiona.

You have captured this very nicely Fiona ,pity you missed the glint of sunshine, we have not had much of that recently

Get the turquoise out! I love this feather. Love the movement.

Beautiful. This just shows that we don’t need to trek miles carrying all our gear, to find a wonderful simple subject! It has a great feel of movement and delight.

Small watercolour and ink pen on photography paper. A soggy Magpie feather found in the garden. I haven’t managed to capture the glint of sun on the blue in the feather which attracted me to sketch it. Just couldn’t get that iridescent sheen.
