OK, Satu, you've got me really confused this time! How do you get beautiful eyes from ostriches. or their plumes?

Ostriches themselves have got magnificent eyes - large, and fringed with gorgeous feathery lashes that Hollywood starlets would kill or die for - but they must have been rather rare in medieval Germany. Interesting thought!

All the best
