Feather Wrapping

I haven't seen a post about feather wrapping in here yet, but I wanted to share this with you all. This is my FAVORITE pen in the whole wide world because it writes really nice. I made it from a goose feather that I found in the park. The bottom part, I don't know what you call it but whatever, let's call it the stem...like a flower...lol. Anywho, I stuck a pen refill, one of those really cheap ones, up into the stem of the feather and then wrapped it with some floss that you would use for cross stitching. I originally only had a little bit superglued down, but the floss kept on coming undone, so I superglued the entire thing. Now it is really hard and can take a beating pretty well. There is also a rose quartz stone glued to it as well. The only dumb thing I did was to glue the pen refill into the feather, so now when it runs out, I have to make a new one. Ack! But I have quite a few feathers collected, so I guess it won't be a problem.
