Benched



Had the opportunity to watch a fateful weekend of football and experiment and test some new patterns, and prep a little for my tying demonstration at Charlies Flybox ned Saturday morning. Come one come all, Fishing will be limited and NO football to distract you.
Every great artist has there pallet of paints, I would call this "mine", as I have my mat of misc. beads and hooks at the ready, when a new idea or concept comes into my mind.
The top of the bench, candle, ash tray and other items become the holding area's for the concept and "idea" flies. Currently the top is over flowing, it is now time to get out and test them, catch fish, and see what needs tweaking...
