Wind on the Thread to the Hook. Use the Fine UV Dub Salmon Pink and add it to the Hook as shown as the Picture. (Use a Dubbing Loop, rotate it and then Brush it.)
Mix different Colors of the Polar Dub for the head like you want. For a little extra add a little bit from the Frödin Dubbing.
Cut it half, make a short and a longer Stripe.
Build the Head
Again mix some Dubbing but Not much.
Make a Dubbing Loop rotate, Brush and tie around the head. Fix it and again Brush it. This extra Step make a good Natural looking head. In mine opinion it’s One of the important Step’s!
Correct the head, Pluck a little bit of the Dubbing, No cutting! Use your Hands, On this Picture the Head was to long.
Ad for the Antenna some Craft Fur.
First pair of legs, made of the Jewel Band 0.5mm.
Add the First Three Pair of Legs From the Bottom up, the last one is bigger.
Tie in the Eyes, Fix it with UV-Glue
Tie in the last pair of legs.
Now use the Monofil and fix it behind the Head. Make the Tail with the Jewel Band.
Color the Mono with the Brown Edding. Important: Use the rabbit Dubbing for the Body.
Add the First Layer Thin UV-Glue to the Body.
Tie in First the Creepy Crawley Dubbing and then Sow Scud Back 3mm.
Like Shown on the Picture, it’s a little bit tricky. Use the Brown Mono to fix it.
Add the next Layer UV-Glue Thin/Thick like you want.
Now you can correct the Position of the eyes with the glue and give the Body the form like you want. This take a lot of Time. Fix the positions of the legs with Glue.
