A Belgian's take on M.O.M. patterns. Found the copper tinsel; hiding in plain sight

hook - Dai Riki 075 #8
thread - Danville 6/0 tan/MFC 8/0 rusty brown (had a change of heart on head dubbing at the end)
tail - teal flank/partridge tail
rib - brassie wire copper
underbody - dubbing
body - copper mylar
throat - partridge
wing - partridge
hackle - partridge
head - dubbing rusty brown

mash barb; start thread, tie in rib, wrap to bend



measure (shank length) some teal flank; tie in





top with some partridge tail fibers; trim





dub tapered underbody





tie in tinsel



touching wraps to tail and back; tie off/trim



rib body; helicopter end, cover with thread



tie in partridge by tip; wrap, tie off/trim





stroke fibers down, cover with thread





measure (tips slightly past bend) a pair of partridge feathers; tie in/trim





tie in another partridge feather by the tip; wrap, tie off/trim





dub thread



dub head, realize you have the wrong color thread, back off, switch thread, dub again, whip finish, SHHAN







Regards,
Scott

Priceless. Seriously, this gives hope to all of us struggling tyers. When one sees only perfection in videos and SBS's, it's easy to feel like no one else ever makes mistakes. Thank you for sharing!


PS. Someone should do a blooper tying video!

Why? I see those bloopers all the time. They aren't funny. Mostly, aren't. Maybe, if someone else did them.

My bloopers almost always end in colorful words and muttering between my teeth.
