Notes:
(1) The size and number of glass beads used for the body are dependent upon the hook and style. As a general rule sizes 16 and 14 will use four or five 15/0 beads respectively
(2) The thread and gold wire are combined and then dubbed upon Once the amount of fur desired has been applied to the wire/thread combination take a few wraps behind the rear bead and then wind over the next bead repeating the process until the thorax region is reached. The gold wire will bleed through when wet.
