[Mirage] Snatchers (part II)

Hopefully I've taken the advice given on my last batch, so here's a couple of "mirage snatchers" using the absolute minimum of materials and less hackle.

Any better?

Absolutely brilliant even Scratch can't pull those to pieces.

I had a damn good go, Alban

Slim pickings I'm afraid

Much more like it Gary. Cross the two and you've cracked it... hackle length is better on the bottom pic, but ditch the oval. Stick with wire on top of tinsel. Oval is ok over seals fur. Nice work.
