I didn't have much time, so I focused on two blends, a caddis green blend and a pomegranate red blend. I used rabbit/hare as filler, as well as utilized the guard hares for texture. I also added rug yarn/sparkle yarn to both mixes for binder. Highlights were accented with a spectral blend of wool fibers and Angelina. Because spectral blends photograph so horse-shit I included two photos of each blend, a photo under flash lighting, and one under lower natural lighting. The latter helps point out the highlights better, and is likely a better representative of how the blend will look when underwater.




I can't wait to get tying with this stuff. Look for some new ties coming soon.
I am sure that you have said this in previouse post, but.....
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your died rabbit from? Do you use the body fur, or do you use the hare's mask?
Thanks
the rabbit comes from dyed hides, or zonker strips. I also will use fur from a hare's mask, depending on the colors I have available and the desired bugginess of the blend.
