Olive flumph

Nice Moshup, great combination of body material, flows right into the hackle or the hackle flows right into the body, I can't tell which.  Beautiful.

What a month this has been. Everyone sure has brought their "A" game to the forum. @SBPatt your dyeing skills are amazing. No muddling about there. What a great resource and group to inspire us.

Here's my latest attempt at Snowie's #2 for the Brora. Well a variant anyhow. (more detail in the Classic thread).

Believe me.
