Thanks Mike!   I'll go check them out.  I want to find a source for the Mylar with small bubbles in it that Iain sent to me.   That makes a really great crease fly.  I've seen the pattern on Fish Skin but not in Mylar so it must be here somewhere.

Dollar Stores have mylar in both strips and sheets in many colors.

Even Mylar balloons the kids or grandkids have after the balloon dies use the mylar for your crease flies.  This will improve your color choices.

Well I finished my crease flies last week for the swap but now I can't stop playing with them.
I started making up a couple of special patterns for a friends care package.  I was using some holographic gift-wrap foil.  It worked great!!!    Better than anything I've used yet.   The metallic transfer foil doesn't hold the colors of the markers as bright as the plastic gift foil does.   I just glued my foam body in place on the hook with the sticky side out, removed the backing and applied the foil over it then trimmed it to shape.  I prefer to trim it once on the fly because it will stretch and lift near the belly when you fold it otherwise.
I think you can find this kind of gift wrap in most Hallmark or better confectionary type stores that wrap candy or other odd shaped gifts in it.
Keep tying and have fun,
Deb
