Creative Tuesdays - Thank You

It's time for Creative Tuesdays' 'Thank You' theme. Please stop by the others and join in the fun!

I'm pleased with the way this piece turned out. I wanted to do a turkey with fancy feathers. I was walking by this bunch of artificial fall leaves displayed in my house and
realized this would be the perfect idea for my turkey 'feathers'! Here is the result:
