Feathered cut and not

[hankll]

So while I've been piddling, waiting on my order for some hair and marabou.. I decided to take the advice of several about natural shorter look, and I went a step towards the shorter feather tails al-natural.
The pink/purple is the haircut. Another I did shorter by half the measurement of the other one before the haircut.

I know I've been playing with the feathers, but I'm beginning to like the way they look. I'm learning how to prepare the V and it's easier to get them lined up and equally spaced around the hook. But real technique with bucktail or craft fur, even, would make a better looking jig.
