Hi Alberto.

The painting is acryl paintings from my daughter.
The body is built up with wool and then comes cotton (from old shorts).
I then paint the cotton with pensil, thats great fun
I then put 5 minute epoxy over the body when the painting has dried, that protects it compleatly.

I wrap over the cotton with the thread, it doesn't seem to matter although the body is rough afther that, the epoxy smoothes things out.

Nothing is new under the sun, but I havent seen any painted flies, they must be out there, do you know of a site with some?
