Anything that comes to hand can be turned into a fly!Originally Posted by jdubach
I have heard some people say they made small snail imitations using pistachio shells, but I don't know how this would work. Any ideas? Also does anyone have other fly uses for the shells other than snail imitations?
Coffee bean beetles, teabag sedges, condom nymphs, pubic hair etc.
I have heard of floating patterns using Pistachio shells, a beetle was the one I saw with the shell cut, sanded, dyed and varnished to form the wing covers of a beetle about to take flight with Organza as the actual wing below the covers. The Pistachio shell was sanded thin to reduce weight for casting, very bouyant when sealed.
