Folks I just took delivery of some of L.F.'s PB and it is some beautiful stuff. The color has such translucency you would not believe it.

Hi Lawrence,

Those are really nice, thank's for posting them here! I still haven't gotten around to dyeing anything that I have with my picric yet, but it's getting much closer than it was a year ago. 8-)

Regards,
Mark

They are beautiful. And nothing wrong with being left handed.... ;)

They are absolutely beautiful.....i just thought you might like to know why the flies in the pics were facing left. We have a plate of 9 of Lawrence's Irish Mayflies on the wall in our family room. BEAUTIFUL piece. i think more (framed collections), are available. ;)
Btw.....i'm semi-ambidexterous.....i do many things left handed, and many other things right handed.....some things either way. i tye right handed, and while i can cut with scissors right handed, i naturally do it left handed. Go figure. 8-)
