Great practice! I like the pebbles inside the feathers. Your work looks great to me. I'm no pro, I've been teaching myself and having a ball. I simply cannot free motion without gloves. Mine have fingers. My sister gave me a pair with no fingers and I can't make it work the same. I've tried the bats and drawer gripper too. Maybe it's because I started with fingered gloves and simply can't move to something else.
Thanks for the inspiration!!!
