I think i am insane, mostly. It is painful! I must suffer handcramps for my art. Also tiny brushes.

Are you actually going to turn them into pins or charms? i can see that on a long chain with maybe a metal feather or something.... mainly because im obsessed with feathers. I'd wear it its perfect

They have little brooch backs attached, but i'm making some to be worn as pendants, too. I like your idea of adding a little feather charm! maybe i will have to hunt some down.
