Amanda they are lovely and know the fed up feeling I am also self taught but did one for my daughter it took of from there don't sell them in the shop I work in now 'not enough profit in them' as for feathers???? I buy feather dusters approx £2to £4 have about 20 of them now in all sorts of colours and can get a lot of fascinators out of one of them then add 3 or 5 really nice feathers in
