Like it HM!!! Thanks for sharing!!

I also like 'em with the folded style thorax.

Maybe with a Primrose, or Light Cahil thread body and a Natural Quill or yellow olive quill, would be a great suggestion as a Yellow Owl variant?

this pic turned out great..no worries, maybe try a light blue background next time that will lighten up the contents.......AW

..does that pattern use a brownish CDC..or a light tan, maybe even a light olive CDC?

PRIMROSE is the thread colour you need m8 and a BLACK UTC 140 THREAD for the ribbing, no varnish and CDC pulled over the thorax. SIZE 14 B110 to cock it. ALDERNEUK watch out
