My first and second attempts to make feather murrini. On my first try I didn't get enough dark glass on the tip or enough white/trans brown layers. On my second attempt I kept the layers flatter (was able to increase the number of layers), narrower, and sides neater and I also made the dark portion larger. I love using these murrini. I'll probably make it part of my on hand supply of murrini.
The only thing Im not sure about is the quill part of the feather. Im not sure if Im supposed to keep dragging the murrini to form the quill, or stop at the edge of the murrini and then apply just the encased stringer to form the quill.
In keeping with the eagle theme, I also tried my hand at an eagle bead.
