Much better ! Nice taper on body, hackling/ throat. Are nice. Be mindful of tag section, ( a little chubby), Question, are u using silk?

Knowing the short comings is half the battle

Can be common, possibly being over bleached and old, get a new patch

As far as trapping hair there is a simple solution, after tying in clump, cut a square of plastic bag and cut a slice in it, that allows you to pass it through the thread followed by wrapping it around bundle. I then use a bag clamp to hold back hair then work forward, give it a try.

I tie my the way Chris Helms showed me, (for the mouse ), tie in back section up to where the ears go. Then I trim that section, add the ears followed by one clump ( top and bottom). Then trim that, add whiskers followed by final clump. Then I carefully trim around the whiskers and steam for final trim

Simply pull em up or down and get in with the ✂️

More mice, 4/0 ; 1/0 ; #1 Belly is natural white, top is Mule deer with moose mane whiskers and mono eyes

Your on a roll

With the fine silks it is recommended to burnish in same direction as wrapping, more back and forth vertically, opposed to right to left ( back and forth).

Now that’s what I’m talking about! You got it now
