Quilled Humming Bird Closeup

I have uploaded a closeup of the humming bird quilled picture in my Fuchsia Shower to show how the blended quills enable you to get different shades. The darker shade of green is achieved by mixing light/dark green and making the coil. The grayish look is by mixing black and white. The tail feathers have been made using husking technique. I have quilled the eyes then pasted strips to get the shape of the eyes.
