Very nice link @Miss Lydia ! I haven't had much interaction with runners (I think I need some) and didn't realize they come in such beautiful array of colors too.

Sorry, when I get enough good pictures I'll make a new thread about it. Promised!

For now please make do with this.

When I said I got 3 dark-colored it was because they looked totally black when they came out, by as they dried turns out I have one grey, one mallard-looking, and one that's almost yellow except the wings, tail, which are dark grey, and head which is mallard-like.
