Did someone get a new grey possum pelt for Christmas?
Very nice use of the materials, great proportions and form.

Not really - in fact I cannot find back the half pelt I have somewhere...
I used some loose dubbing from a Wapsi dubbing kit. For the Material Girl I just used a bit of 'dust' left over from the Steelhead Pat video session
Cheers,

I have to agree with Stendalen I too try to copy some of those patterns. As for possum, it is it new dubbing material for me. Love it in all it's permutations! Sweet little fly. I like the esthetic of a up turned eye. Seems to be more graceful in my eye.

Madonna would be proud! Love that copper krystal flash.
Really crisp, clean tie, as always.
