I dying Rabbit hide (sorry Denise!)... one wine and one tan. The hides were white originally.
These will be used for fly tying! I'll get many dozens of flies out of these.

That would be an incredible blanket! Now you have me wanting one.
But ya, 50 pelts is a lot. They're not expensive. I can get them from fly shops for under $5 each, tanned and soft. I bet you could get em for about half that price in bulk. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
