Eric is preparing for a sojourn from work & pregnant wife. FISHING!!! In preparation, he has been "making bugs," as Bitty has termed his fly-making. Which is an intricate and fascinating process that is absolutely absorbing to witness! Aside from all the synthetics that they use to create these little things, Eric has a collection of caribou hide, polar bear fur, seal fur (!!!!), horse hair, rabbit fur, and any type of bird feather you can imagine (peacock, guinea fowl, pheasant, jungle cock eye feather), and other strange stuff!
I should have taken more photos in the process, but I could not take my attention nor eyes off of Bitty (Curious Georgette, the destructor - she gave herself a black eye today) until Eric had already completed this one. The red stuff is dyed seal fur.
The supplies...
Daddy's collection of "bugs." Adelaide LOVES them.
Can you see how very ready Eric is for his manly-man, dude trip? Bitty had her paws all over everything and was throwing hideous fits at every mention of "no" or "don't."

That is so cool that he makes his own! What a cool crafty thing! I hope he has fun on his trip and brings home some yummy fish!
From the looks of it, Bitty is lucky she wasn't tied and hooked!
