I'm mostly glad I missed that feather stick - I'm not sure if it's my lack of skill or my hair's uncooperativeness, sticks and I don't tend to get along....but man am I jealous of you, Christine_O!

Some very nice pieces lately, in general, too!

I'm gonna post a pic of my kingwood fork in the action shot thread.

Hey Kitten1030, maybe you should post a pic of the sticks directly in the thread. Might get some more attention that way, since people will be able to see it without having to follow the link.

They're actually my sticks, and I haven't had time to get one of my own pictures of the sticks up - those links are to etsy listings since I can't hotlink. I will post in-thread pics as soon as I can, but it's been kind of crazy at my house this last week.

Stick two has pretty colors... Would love to see action pics! Interesting shape, do these seem fragile?

Bump! Laurenji, any chance of a pic in the thread? Also, you were asked a question about them.

Everyone, I am so sorry. Between work exploding and being pregnant, I have barely had time to breathe over the last month, and then I just kept feeling worse and worse knowing I was letting you all down . . . Here are the photos as promised. (They are taken at night in my crappy bathroom lighting, but I did my best to adjust them to be more color true, and also I figured it would be better to take imperfect pictures than to continue to get more and more guilty and not take perfect ones, so . . . ):

The blue/green one looks basically the same on both sides, but the yellow/brown/green one has more yellow on one side.

As for how flimsy they are: I don't really put a lot of torque on my sticks and my hair has only broken cheap plastic sticks so far, so I may not be the best person to ask. However, they don't feel flimsy to me. I definitely wouldn't describe them as "chunky", but they're not flimsy or super breakable either.

In addition, I feel like I should mention that the finish is not the glass-smooth finish you may be used to with other manufacturers. I like it because they are slightly grippier in my very slippery hair, but if you like the super smooth finish you may have to do a little sanding yourself.
