Flyweaver 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 I tied up 4 woven body stoneflies put them in clear balls and auctioned them off in pairs at our annual TU auction. Got $53.00 for the 4 of them. Never took a picture, wish I had. Next time I will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmyers 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 How did you display them in the ball, like the christmas tree above or did you do something else? I didn't know with other patterns if you would have them displayed with the hook up and down like the tree or left to right inside the ball. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyweaver 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 I tied them with mono thread so the were suspended horizontally in the center of the ball. I then secured the ball to the hanging loop and put a dab of crazy glue on the knots. The stones were tied on no. 8 curved hooks. They really went over big.
