Oh, man, William, what a cool post. Everything about it, except the absence of a materials list. What's that feather?
Mia must get weary of people telling her how much she looks like her old man.
Wonderful dog, from two of my favorite breeds.

Thanks so much for the kind comments. She's dreamy and he has my eyes.

The dubbing is chopped and spun on primrose silk and the hackle is a marginal feather from a speckled hen cape. Lately I've been tying in the pearsall's silk spun bodies with Griffiths 14/0. This one is tied with the primrose colored Griffiths.
