YELLOW WHITE WING:

 

tube: XS transparent + M Fluo Yellow FITS

tag: Gold minibraid

tail: White or Electric Yellow Fluro fibre

body: rear1/2 Saffron yellow flatbraid, 1/2 Mother of Pearl firestar dubbing

rib: Large gold Lagartun oval tinsel

wing: (bottom to top)

BOTTOM WING: 2 strands Pearl mirror flash + 2 Krystall mirrorflash Yellow. Yellow templedog, 3-4 strands Electric Yellow Anglehair

MIDDLE WING: Yellow temple dog, 3-4 strands holographic gold Angel hair, 3 strands Mother of Pearl Krinkle flash or Gliss n' Glow

TOP WING: White templedog ( as white as possible, almost transparent) mixed with long strands of Mother of Pearl Firestar or Flashabou dubbing.

I will try to remember to include the dressing for next time I´m posting. Don´t worry about all strange flash materials I list here, use what you have but do not deviate in color. Remember to taper the wings, tie them low and wide and don't over dress. The wing should be fat but transparent with strands of flash glistening inside.

 

GOOD LUCK AND TIGHT LINES
