I took a bit of trial and error to sort out the whole wing thing.
In this trial one I stitched down the silver feathers........very time consuming and not quite the smooth finish I was after.
Then I had a go at using applique paper to put the silver feathers on, this gave the finish I was after and combined with some pretty string I think I'm done with the trial and error bit!
I'm having a lot of fun with this Blogtoberfest challenge, I've caught myself calling it Octoberfest a few times and had a bit of a giggle ...........I don't think drinking copious amounts of beer and blogging would work now would it?Ok, I'll be back tomorrow with day 5, see you all then.

They look great - I love the wings - you're so clever - trial and error eh? Looks like it paid off big time :)
very very cute - I too design by making - I like to think of the whole trial and error thing as 'design development'!
Blogs and beer? Perfect match!
Beer & sewing - you make me giggle, hiccup. Is there anything double sided adhesive can't fix?? I love the stuff, buy 20m rolls at a time, much to the shock of the ladies at the haberdashery who say
"really, applique, how much do you do" & i just smile & say "tonnes". Lovely work, love Posie
Your birds are just gorgeous!...I think we could all have a few giggles over some drunken blog posts, imagine!
Simply stunning Brenda. They look fantastic...Terese
So sweet. I would love them to adorn my tree. Love the wings.
Great result. The applique paper did the trick! The look beautiful : )
I don't think you could ever make anything dodgy!!! beautiful work as usual - saw your mini owl at the shop (1 left) it was very cute. I am looking forward to see some birds with the wire feet there too! happy sewing.
