I love your feathers! Where did you learn how to do them? I just purchased the book and DVD set by Kim Brunner called Twirly Whirly Feather's and am hoping it will help me.

Nobody showed me how to do them, I just practiced it a lot by doing small sketches. Also looking on pics of feather patterns helps a lot!
