This could also just be a variation on a Cruncher as I've seen Nemo recipes with peacock bodies. Still trying to figure how to wrap a proper holo tinsel head.

I like the look of the red tinsel rib. Nicely done.

Where did you find him, Scott? Folks have looking all over ...

Hanging with some anemonies
Apparently, I had an issue with the Super Glue I was using; caused the tinsel to frost up. Got a bottle of Loctite and no problems. This one's tied on a Dai Riki 305 #18; also used Sulky Holoshimmer for rib and head (very nice stuff).
Regards,
Scott

Both are very nice patterns. A little old school meshed with contemporary flash. I like the style. I have played with that Sulky as well. It is nice.
