Superb!

I like it.
Very efficient use of the pheasant barbs.
Nice dye in the snowshoe rabbit dubbing.
So wonderful to have you contributing so much great material to the forum!

Pheasant Tail soft hackles were the first soft hackles I ever tied. Thats a great looking fly cicvara and I've never seen that technique of wrapping the PT around the string before. Thank you for sharing it with us :)

Cicvara,
Absolutly stunning! I love the effect of the barbs wound around the tying thread! What a great idea! And the dubbing color and texture...simply wonderful! It has just got to be a great fish catcher as well! You did really well in the photography dept. as well!
We always want to see more of what you do!

-Thank you all for watching and comments, I am glad that you like, and I will be glad if you use it sometimes.
-Can be used feathers of herons, goose, mallard, peacock, and others.
-Rabbit feet, is painted, and you have to say that I painted the hair colors that women use. Quickly and efficiently and has many colors.

Hair dye for dubbing?
Never heard of this before, but it makes sense.
Are other tyers doing this?
Or is this your invention?
Very cool.
