********************************

I tried to create the feathers the same way in PSP8 as I did for PSP7
BUT
got frustrated because the same effects had different results in PSP8
so owing to lack of time there is no PSP8 version of the tut for creating
the feathers. Maybe when I have time I'll try again...
I hate things getting the better of me *S*



If you didn't make your own feather tube using my PSP7 tutorial
you will need to download this and the 2 pearl tubes from
the tube 'accessories.zip' HERE

Extract to a folder on your computer.

You will need EyeCandy 3
download

You'll need Simple Filters

Flaming Pear (Ornament)
download
Scroll down to "Free Plugins"
Download and extract to your PSP Plugins Folder.
