Default Messing around

Hi guys

I was just messing around with materials last night looking at making some bugs for the river. As I don't have any beads at the moment I decided to put down a layer of Lead and tied up bug in the pic.
What do you think?

I would go for a softer hackle and a finer body material but your proportions and colours are spot on. It looks like your using a very stiff seals fur?

Hi Chris

Point taken on the hackle, The body is Awsome Possum which is actually softer than Seals fur. I probably have too much lead on it which makes the body thicker than it should be.
