A poor imitation of a Leisenring "Half Stone".

Joaniebo,
Nothing wrong with these beauties! They are gorgeous in their own way! Get out there and put them to good use! They belong in the scissors of a giant trout!
I'm impressed with what you do!

Bob,

Did you use primrose buttonhole twist for the body, or is it the same
thread you used for the head?

I wasn't familiar with this pattern, but found the list of materials in the
chapter on nymphs (page 106).

Thanks- Ken

It's been several years since I did these but, if I remember correctly, I used some Pearsall floss silk for the body.
