Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board



The delicate features of a feather. These are the tiny strands that interlock with eachother like velcro to form the uniform surface of the feather. With time and use, those little hairy strands get worn off and lose their strength, and the feather gets fluffy, just in time to be molted.

I like how the photo below bears a resemblance to the teeth of a comb.



Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
