Wish me luck getting in to the show!
Edit to add: I tied every fly in there except for the lures (obviously) and the Muddler Minnow (top row, right side), which was tied by my dad. Let me know if you're curious about the names of these.

New Fly Art--Part 1
Last week I submitted Fishhooks in Disguise, a piece for the upcoming show at the Fuller Lodge Art Center in Los Alamos called "Trickster". Ken Nebel, the manager of the Art Center, suggested something around fly tying as that art is, in essence, all about tricking fish into biting a hook. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it's just amusing.
I made the mistake of framing the thing BEFORE taking the picture (I superglued the foam into the frame...), so it was REALLY hard to not have a bunch of glare on the glass. Lesson learned for next time.
Wish me luck getting in to the show!

Looks great, and I can't even see a glare! Good luck on your entry!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie!
DeleteIs that a Gene Shalit fly I see? Those Dare Devil spools never worked for me as a kid. I love the crawfish. Sign me up for a couple of those.
ReplyDeleteLure-wise, I've had the best luck with things like a Panther Martin or something with fur on it rather than just the plain spoons. But I have a soft spot for fly fishing.
