It’s interesting to see the difference between this version and the earlier version.

Nice tinsel work, by the way. It really caught my eye.

Thank you. Tinsel gives me fits. I had to unwrap an rap several sections. I think I prefer the original tied a little smaller and with a smaller wing. Either way it is interesting to see how the pattern changed over time.
