Chuck: It was part of the foam. Something I picked up at the craft store around Valentine's day.

Chuck: Once in a while I'll stick two different colors together, usually I just stick to single colors. White, Yellow, Green, Pink and Black and use hackle and marabou to give me different color combinations. When I stick them together, Yellow and Black, Green and Yellow, Green and White. I've tried it with the metal flake or sparkle foams, but I lose a lot of the sparkle from them. What I like to do with the peel and stick is use transfer foil on either the top or bottom layer. I use Mother of Pearl foil a lot, along with red, green, blue, gold, silver and motor oil(Black MOP. The result is what they sell in fly shops as "Loco Foam". I usually don't go more than 4mm for my thickness. You can find 3mm and 4mm foam in craft stores. I use either shell casings, shotgun brass or a set of punches I brought from Harry Steeves, several years ago. I also have a set of heart shaped punches that I use. I've attached a couple of pictures, the first was done with either 3 or 4 mm foam. The heart shaped with 3 mm. ----- Original Message ----- Folks: I bought a cpl packs of peel and stick 2mm craft foam at Wal mart tonight. One pack is standard bright colors of red, black, white, green blue and yellow. Those are 8.8” by 11.8” in size. I plan to stick 4, or 5, or 6 sheets together, then use varous sized bullet casings to “stamp out popper heads. But then I got a 10 sheet pack, that is half the size of the others, but they are all beautiful “metal flake” colors on green,red,pink (which I KNOW will be a killer color as anybody who knows me knows that I have had great luck with that color), blue,black, white, yellow, gray, orange and chartreuse. My question is this?? I know black and yellow make great bumble bee or yellow jacket wasps colors, but can somebody tell me other colors or combos they have had good luck with on bluegills??? I also plain to, instead of wasting the beautiful metal flake ones to stack them all up, say if I want to make some that are green. And say I want them to be 10mm thick. Instead of wasting 5 pieces of the metal flake, which costs more and is half the size, I’ll put metal flake on the rear one and front one, and sandwich in three pieces of plain green. See what I mean??? But I need ideas on some combos that have worked. I plan to make a few of each of the solid colors and just trying those till I see what they are hitting on that particular day in that particular shade, or sunshine, or time of day etc. But I didn’t even know they made the stuff in the metal flake till tonight. I think Gray and black might be good because we have certain beetles that are black, but have gray colored wings when they spread them out. I think black and green would be good, because June bugs here are sorta that color combo. But others I just can’t think of right now. The foam says for ages 3 and up so MAYBE I won’t hurt myself with it LOL.. Thanks, Chuck -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
