I haven't tried these yet but a tyer at the Texoma Tie-In was making his own half-bead eyes with 5 minute epoxy, wax paper and a drop or two of black paint. Looked pretty good - project for the weekend. :D
Hi Dixieangler, Where do you get thr neat little spherical shaped foam heads ??
Hi Ray,
Yeah. That round head for the Nymphomie is why I call it a pusher since it pushes water as opposed to popping water (flat face/cupped "popper") or sliding (bullet head type "slider") through water. It is a Dremel bug because the head is shaped on my Dremel lathe ala Jim Hatch.
See Jim's article in the link below.

Philly, Dixie....both you boys have some great looking flies here!! Glad to see so much enthusiasm and nice work!!

IF you are putting dolls eyes on a foam popper, then sand or cut a little of the foam off where the eye will go. You want a flat surface for them to go onto. This will make the eyes more durable.
