some spring stuff
I'm still depressed about missing Plugfest thanks to ebola or something like it, but I got to work on a little spring stuff...some little spooks, a herring flat bottom pencil and a little baby squid needle that I think I will be using quite a bit early on ...and a needle that I tried to make look like an actual needle fish

haaaa, Ecdu ...if you look closely you'll see that I drew some inspiration from you and Bigfish, I looked at your tutorial very closely and tried something similar on the herring, not nearly as good as your results but it was a fun process....

just a quick note...I was out of eyes so I made all of them using flex coat and micro pearl powders and some gold leaf flake in the eyes of the needles that I found in my kids craft stuff...that was fun to do but it takes a while for the flex coat to cure...good to have for a back up in a pinch ......

hey scott- can you tell me about the sealed belly hook hanger design you are using here. I assume they are wired in to your thru-wire and sealed with some type of epoxy/wood putty. I want to use this type of hanger on my next batch of wooden Smack-its to stop the plugfrom taking on water thru the belly hook hole...
TX- chris

the pupils are just black paint but I bet if I rumaged around Michaels long enough I could find some small black things to use that would be better, then they'd be the same size without a lot of effort  actually, now that I think about it I should have found some shiny black plastic and made pupils with my 3 hole punch 
belly hanger- just bend a wire in a figure "8" to fit and twist it in the middle to run north /south for the through wire...fill with QuickWood from Home Depot or whatever you use for filler.... |
