A little wing experiment

[uffepuffe 0]

Was experimenting with wings inspired by some of the flies tied by the Stancev couple, I ended up tying a rather quickly tied Mayfly, still I think it turned out nicely!

Very nice photo Ulf! You been taking lessons from Graham?

 

I really like the positioning of the legs. You've made the mayfly look alive.

 

Thanks for posting.

Thanks alot guys! The wings are simple, I have this big paint brush with extremly thin semi-transparent fibers. I take a whole bunch of these and fan them out over a piece of scotch tape in to a 90 degrees angle, then fill the whole thing with superglue and remove the tape. Finaly cut them into shape after a wing template. Kina like how Aarne Karjala does his wings, just a little different materials.

Its hard to belive they are made from a paint brush, they look great.
