Re: Deerstalker
Hans, this is a nice use of that gold silk. It's an intense effect by itself, even wet, but that dub looks like it would make a nice halo. I could go search it out, but what makes this a Deerstalker? I'm sure Nemes had a good reason for the name, but I can't recall if I ever knew.
Great to have a new Hans post, btw.

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

It is my pattern, so I got to pick the name
Last time I saw Syl fishing (many moons ago), he was wearing a Sherlock Holmes style Deerstalker hat.

Re: Deerstalker
It is a pleasure to see your work back on the forum, Hans. I'm certain Mr. Nemes would have been flattered by this tribute.
