Heirloom Feathers ~ Freehand, Formal & Fanciful
Pocket Guide & Workbook $50

Comment from recent customer:

Hi Darlene,
I've been doing lots of practicing both on the dry erase board and on the machine.  Your books have been such a great help.  They are so easy to learn from and really help with ideas.  Even my husband commented on my drawn feathers and how nice they're looking!

Pocket Guide - 68 pages of sturdy paper,

The Pocket Guides to Freehanding.
Again, there are arrowed instructions for you
 to follow,
just like in the original books.

These are feathers like you've never seen them before. These books were 18 months in the making,
and I'm sure you'll find the wait has been worthwhile!

Workbook - 63 pages of sturdy paper, 3-hole punched so you can put them in your own preferred binder. A cover insert and spine are included, as well as a mylar sheet for you to use for tracing the designs.
You may also wish to add dividers for the different sections
.

This is meant to be a "WORK" book. That means, I've provided the information, but it's up to YOU to do the work! The more you draw & practice, the more proficient you'll be when you get to the machine. That is a promise!
