guess so Thomas.........didn't happen on purpose...........but for that one application...........it's kinna cool...........plus, Dave Whitlock and 100 other tyer clue half the stuff they do anyway..........i sometimes have to put a little dab underneath beads to ekkp 'em just so........clue is used a whole lot in fly "tying" as you well know.............sides, it's the end result that matters.
kinna the opposite of "it's not what you do, but how you do it" LMAO From: royalcoach...@bluewin.ch To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: AW: [VFB] this one..... Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:54:35 +0100 you mean you are now Fly Gluing instead of Fly Tying the da Vinci way … (not perfect) Thomas Von: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] Im Auftrag von Mark Romero Gesendet: Sonntag, 15. November 2009 08:44 An: virtual fly box Betreff: [VFB] this one..... This is the one that i sent the recipe for the other day.....and said to look for basically, a Purple Fly. This is an Alex Hayes hook i painted Purple. Got the bead off ebay.....the veilings for the bead, (above and below ) are dyed blue CDC from Marc Petijean, and i forgot to tye them in at the proper time.....so later on, i had to clue them in with Zap-a-Gap, by just dipping the stem in a drop of it, amd inserting them into position, lol. But they held fine with no mess whatsoever. Once i had them inserted, i hadda hold them like that for bout a minute each til they set. i kninna like the method.....it's a clean way to do it, with pin point accuracy, and may be a better way to do it, as the drop off right in front of the bead with a bead that big, is trememdous....which is why i use a dubbing brush for the forward portion of the body.....nice and FAT! i made the dubbing brush out of some Purple synthetic dubbing and Red Light Bright, and it's picked out. For the wing i hadda go with what i had.....and it's VERY difficult to find pheasent tails that have perfect tips no matter where you get them or what type of pheasent it is.....but perfection is not what i'm after anyway. It's a general or sometimes specific effect that i'm after.........to make a statement.........an artistic statement. Nature is not perfect, art is not perfect, human beings are not perfect. Da Vinci prolly tell you the Mona Lisa was not perfect...........so who cares. It was a successful work. Perfect is overrated, lmao. Windows 7: It works the way you want.
