Notes:
Put bead on hook, place in vise and wrap around 10 wraps of .020 wire, use thread to secure wire up next to bead. Advance thread to where the barb is (or would be) and then tie in the turkey biots. Tie in the smaller bunch of turkey vains and flat wire to the base of the tail, then dub the abdomen up to thorax and pull the turkey vains over the back and then palmer the wire to the thorax and tie in. Tie in the crystal flash into a small bunch in front of the abdomen and then tie in the larger bunch of turkey vains advance thread about 2-3 wraps towards the eye and tie in the legs. Back thread to the abdomen and dub the thorax to the bead. Pull turkey vains over to create the wing casing and then twist the crystal flash into a tight bunch and pull over the wing casing and tie off. Whip finish and add more dubbing and whip finish until dubbing runs out. Then put thick resin over wing casing all the way on top of the bead and torch with resin light.
