Tail: Partridge, brown
Body: (4) 11/0 Japanese Toho glass beads, gold lined rainbow topaz
Wingcase: Ozark Oak mottled turkey
Thorax: Brown hare's ear taken from the base of the ears. Mixed with tan sparkle yarn, brown possum and Sybai Fine Flash in fiery brown and UV.
Notes:
(1) The popularity of glass beads has waned a little over the years. Not sure why, but they are absolutely deadly at times.
(2) Numerous bead colors are available and sometimes the "off the wall" colors produce when nothing else does.
(3) Beads are placed on the hook first... The tail is tied in followed by a small build up of thread before dubbing. The rear bead should fit snug on the thread. The wingcase and thorax are completed as normal.
(4) The number and size of beads are dependent upon the hook style.
