    ... love the bits of stickytape on the feathers :-)) – and it’s really amazing how they always look shiny and leathery in a way. Fantastic technique! Needless to say, this one made me smile. A+

    These creatures are so much ‘you’ Firedrake that I suspect you have a cage full of ‘em. Looks like he flew too close to the sun. Well done!
