Wow.  Just the other day I was at work and felt the urge to model just 
such a feather.  Unfortunately by that evening I'd forgotten about it 
and/or was very tired.  Anyway I bet it would be somewhat straight 
forward to create a mesh version of the finest elements and repeat them 
in the appropriate tree/feather shape.  A little more complicated if you 
want it to blend from fuzzy tufts near the root to the smoother part. 
Hmm.  You've got me thinking now. :-)
