RexW 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2021 "Namsen" (Bates' recipe with substitutions.) Tag: Silver tinsel and yellow silk Tail: GP topping with red hackle fibers (still learning out how to add hackle without messing up the tail ) Butt: Black ostrich herl Body: Yellow, orange, red, and blue dubbing (sub'ed for seal and probably should not have used florescent colors ) Rib: Silver flat tinsel and gold oval tinsel Throat: Black hackle Wing: Yellow, blue, & red goose, plus two shades of turkey that were sub'ed for feathers that I don't own. Mistake on the wing with the blue overlapping the red. Surprisingly, it did exactly the same thing on both sides and both sides look identical. If the pattern used a JC eye, I think I could have hidden this mistake. Debated about adding a JC eye anyway to hide the mistake. I still have a lot of work to do learning to do tails and wings correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
