    Nice tie - If you can stick to mostly substitute materials you can save some money but get into the real materials that's a whole new addiction!!!

    Yeah I had to substitute for the indian crow and the blue chatterer and of coarse used a fairly low grade of jungle cock but still quite an investment.

    Really good job especially for your first try! Yes using these materials can get costly. I have 3 Jungle Cock capes and I didn't get them cheap, LOL!
