Default Thanks Artifly

I called Gerry at Artifly yesterday as I was thinking about his black dyed Bronze Mallard for some Sea Trout patterns. Whilst I was on the phone I decided to try his dyed Guniea Fowl for the hackles, got my package today took 2 seconds to decide I was going to have a quick play at the vice and this was born!! My JC isnt very good so just popped a wee slip on the cheek! Then decided I wasnt sure about the tail so a quick photo with and another after a wee snip with my sheers and I must admit I prefer the after snip fly to the before snip fly! What do you think?
