Easy
- Run on the thread behind the bead and take around the bend in touching turns.
- Taper the end of a piece of tube at a shallow angle, tie in and bind down up the hook.
- Wind the tube forward in overlapping turns, tie in and remove the waste end.
- Dub the thorax.
- Cut a narrow strip from the edge of a piece of organza, strip out the long fibres and cut the piece in half.
- Tie in the two sections on either side of the thorax with the fibres pointing up.
- Bend the sections around and tie in forming loops with the fibres on the inside.
- Add a little more dubbing against the bead, smear the thread with varnish and whip finish.
