Quite some time ago now I was out walking when I found this lovely eagle feather, I knew immediately that I wanted to create this image. I could picture it in my mind. Time passed, travels, and other projects became a priority and this lovely feather sat in a basket on the coffee table for many months. Last week I finally took time, made it a priority and photographed the lovely and delicate feather. Then using Kim Klassen’s texture Phoebe as an overlay I was able to achieve the image I had in my mind the day I picked up the feather.
I don’t use textures a lot in my work, but it is a tool I have explored and worked with on occasion. Kim Klassen Cafe has workshop, tutorials and above all wonderful textures to work with. Head on over to her site for some inspiration!
I am not sure that I am entirely done with this image, as it is staying with me. It might need some text, or a haiku, I will have to sit with it a while to decide. Let me know what you think

It’s delicately beautiful just the way it is. When I saw it, I didn’t need any words to enhance the image that came to my mind.
thanks Stewart for your kind words and support. I will keep this in mind. feedback is often helpful.
The texture is a great complement to the image – very beautiful and artistic!
thanks Sherly, I am glad you like it, it is a little different for me, and it is nice to get some positive feedback!
