Beautiful fly, Hans. Once again I can picture the twinkle of humor in your eyes.

Re: Willowhead
OMG! i just saw it for the first time, and i'm "almost" speechless. the fly is SO beautiful.....i LOVE the fly to death.....no pun intended.....absolutely no pun intended. The color(s) combination is spectacular.....i couldn't be happier. Everything about the fly is perfect. It's as if you truely painted it, as it is just the right amount of each part of the dressing. It's a case study in balance of materials.....something i still need to work on quite a bit. Thank you Hans, from the bottom of my heart. i am so moved.....you are "Somethin' Else".....
