Back from my summer hols, rushing to get my act together for Partizan. Here is a reed bank with bull-rushes and some plastic plants in place:-
...and below I've started to add the "reeds", which are a mix of dyed feathers and bits of a cut-up feather boa. Verdant, neh?
Each feather needs to be cut, trimmed and stuck into place. This is a messy and tricky job, which would have been easier with smaller feathers... but I reckon the end result will make it worthwhile.
Looking great, Simon. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteLooks very interesting, looking forward to see the end result.

Thanks chaps! I may need to find a Moses in a basket model. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery creative work. Those look great!
ReplyDeleteNice work Simon, using feathers for reeds is a touch of genius, gives a real impression of density.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards HGA.
These are a triumph Simon, the feathers are an inspired touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The nicest thing is that the feathers flutter in any breeze.
ReplyDeleteI'll post again when finished.
That's jolly clever sir!
ReplyDeleteVery creative, Simon - a great idea.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

Great looking terrain feature here. Would never of thought of using coloured feathers!
