Wingcase: Peacock sword
Bubble: 8/0 Japanese Toho, gold-lined black diamond (transparent black/gold lining)
Thorax: Sames as body
Notes:
(1) The glass bead bubble is intended to imitate the wings clearing (or some call it :exploding) from the nymph in transition to an adult. Silver, gold, pink and yellow are excellent back up bead colors.
(2) The bubble is secured by doubling gold wire running through the center of the bead. The wire is firmly secured to the top of the shank after the peacock sword is tied in. Dub tightly in front and behind wire. The wire should stand 90-degrees to the shank. Once the thorax is completed split even amounts of peacock sword (3-each side pictured) and enclose (surround) the bubble. Secure.
(3) This pattern in smaller sizes has been successful for me when PMD's are about.
(4) Use 11/0 glass bead for sizes 14/16 and 15/0 for size 18.
