Re: Swap suggestion feeler.

Here's a prototype with a tag. One problem I had with the tag was the mylar slipped from my fingers a couple of times. That's the reason the tag isn't wrapped properly and why I call it a prototype. It's got a gold tag, a two strand wrapped gray wool body, a possum thorax and a folded hen mallard wi...

Re: Swap suggestion feeler.

A package arrived today from Jeff today. Thanks for the supplies to participate in the swap. I have 9 yarn colors, mallard drake and hen feathers, a very nice hunk of possum fur and some "mystery" fur. Our house cat assured me it was no relative of hers. There also was a teeny, little soft...

Re: Killer Bugs

This one is a prototype. I used 8/0 thread as that's all I had (in the head color I wanted). Next one will be with 3/0 and I'll take a picture of that one. Actually I won't be able to post it as this board has a size limit of 256K and my pics are considerably larger. My photo resizer doesn't work an...
