One thing to do before getting up out of a recline if you get dizzy when you stand up, is to move your arms and legs before you get up. Seems to wake up the system and decrease the dizziness. Orthostatic hypotension. Rick

Can you post a picture? Would make it easier to describe what you can use the tools for. Rick

I substitute a lot of materials. For many patterns the number of materials was much more limited than it is now. Now we have a great variety of things that we can use. How many other folks use ice dubbing, instead of the original dubbing to tie flies, one example. These are variants, but they work. I let the fish decide. Rick

Two "hares ears types" from alpaca roving.

Nice fish and photos. Rick
