'tying does seem to encourage a strong therapeutic effect that allows me comfort and pleasure... and the kind words that have been sent my way are a testimony to the grande character of the folks who surf in these phantastic waterz!
Youz Guyz are da' BEST!!! www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741
Pure art, so impressionistic, precise and relaxed at the same time, all proportions perfect, the materials are completely in tune. So inspiring!
Based on your recent work here I tied up some flies last night in an attempt to emulate. As I expected they certainly did fall short. Coming back you've posted two new pix tonight and even more amazing.
Glad you're back at the vise, I've been following your work ever since the day of double tube phlyze
I'm throwin' stuff out here because it's all part of the phun...
If I inspire someone to tye outside the box, mission accomplished...
Everything's a work in progress... The only rule is there are NO rules!

I have a few names for the fuzzy creature, but will need to discuss them in person, next month.
The flies look cool and I plan to raid your boxes, shortly.
Walt goes in for his new knee next week. Once the right one is replaced, he will truly be bionic. He plans to start running down the sand shortly and is will be training for marathons by the Spring.
The over 60 race class will never be the same.

The wing hydrodynamics are dominant and the keel acts as it should [like a keel]...:roll:
Striped schnauzers seem to appreciate the minimalist subtleties and sparse yet suggestive insinuation...
Simply said Pete...creativity and imagination cannot be taught! You got it! I will put my tail between my legs and just copy (if I can). Thanks for sharing your "creations"! I am now going to go to my tying table and strip 100 flies :biggrin:

When I get an idea, the initial notion will inevitably morph...
The end result is the product of manipulating material to arrive at a target compromise of shape, colour, and texture...
Sometimes the evolution comes together nicely in defined stages...
Being able to capture the image makes the R&D aspects more rewarding and much easier to share with friends in the tying community...
I was initially trying to insinuate a juvenile... the next was more adolescent... and phinally, a mature ocean bound herring...
more obsessive compulsive tweeeekin'... after the fact, I decided to spot weld on a hint of salmon... gotta' love that magic voodoo acrylic!
the esteemed phocus group will always have the phinal word...

Great stuph! Indian head nickel? Mercury dime? Are you in a time warp? :hihi:
