CLASSIC; Nelly Bly

nelly bly
Designed by Major Traherne, Montage Daniel Bolduc.

Tag: Silver twist & green silk (same shade as the green feathers from the macaw).
Tail: Topping.
Butt: Black herl.
Body: In four equal divisions of floss silk: No. 1, the same colour as the two red feathers of the Red Crow, which are above and below, and butted with black herl, as also is each of the rest. No. 2, the silk is the same blue as the four Jays. The best idea I can offer of No. 3 is that the silk is the same in tone as that of a green Parrot, and a few shades darker than the tag; and No. 4 of magenta silk, each having four Jungle Cock, as shown.
Rib: Flat silver tinsel.
Wings: Two red orange Macaw feathers, with one Jay feather one either side, which are from the overgrowth, having blue on both sides of the shaft; two golden toppings above.
Horns: Blue Macaw.
Head: Black herl.
