Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Perfect!! Love it.. You have a great imagination...

..this reminds me of a pen and ink/watercolor feather I did last year...

Thanks Gwen. I'm not surprised to hear from you as I have seen your work. This is not an original idea for me. I saw it somewhere and I think it was associated with earrings but for the life of me I cannot remember where. It came back to me today while suffering from cabin fever.
I would like the credit but it goes to someone else. Hopefully someone will see this and speak up.

That is great work and looks real. Once you've made them what do you use them for? Just curious

Oldfool said...

They are already used. I got to make them. I look at them.
I showed them to my grandson and his friend as a bike feather.
They, who know all, the meaning of life, the universe and everything, have now confirmed proof that I am crazier than a shit house mouse.

Hey oldfool
I think you saw my girlfriend's work on my blog. Her earrings can be found at http://girlonbike.etsy.com and her blog is at http://girlonbikewrites.blogspot.com

Ill show her your creation, Im sure she'll be excited that she inspired others :)

Yep, those are my handy work :)

I'm glad you liked it.

I have other versions where I cut out spaces as well so you can see the light shining through.
Here's a link to that style:

In my next post near the end there is a link to "girlonbike". She is the one with imagination. I am a her mere student. Thanks young lady.
