Darrell,
I like this pattern very much! You show great care and craftsmanship in bringing together these beauties! The wing is quite interesting! In ancient (maybe even today?) patterns it was referred to as a Glanros wing. Beautiful!

Great observation Doug. Made me immediately think of our old friend Donald Nicholson. He would have loved this one.

Definite fish appeal!

Lovely!
