Pup, you will find the smallies with those. Your's look much cleaner tied than mine! lol

AF,

Thanks for recommending white and your compliment on the ties.



I think that a white bugger has some promise. Been seeing traditional browns and greens for too long perhaps. Also, I like using bead chain for a weighted head. Very easy.

BTW, I know that you often use metallic threads. You might try Coats 60/40 Nylon to Polyester blend if you haven't done so already. It's available at many fabric and craft stores. I'm liking it more each time I use it. Small diameter and a pretty strong thread for a sewing metallic.
