Red wool and a few strands of K.F, (Krystal Flash) are lashed to the hook for a tail. Several strands of Press’n’seal are layed flat and on top of each other on a sheet of glass with k.f., fabric paint, sally Hansen’s, and flexament and marked with markers. hen cut into a thin tapered strip to form body. The rest is the same with different colours of fabric paint, markers and nail polish, the legs and antenna are synthetic duster strands two for front legs, three for middle set and 4 for rear legs, placed between sheets of glad press’n’seal, with tips of duster sticking out. Heat kinked and coated with fleament. the eyes and head is fabric paint

Foam hackles, thread, bead chain eyes zap a gap, fabric paint, and the wings are something I am tinkering with.

This is just a “blueprint fly”. I am tinkering with something fairly new for the wings.
