"Boa feather .. ostrich feather .. peacock feather .. "
There you have it again: when I hear 'feathering', my brain automatically thinks 'graphics feathering in Xara' and not boa whatever feather. My brain is programmed that way So Will is right, 'plume' I would have understood, because there's still no 'plume' tool in any graphics pro I know of..
