I need help with a Crayfish Pattern

[Curtis Fry]

Curtis...that DOES look like a lot more work...but it does also look really good! How did you do the carapace over the back/tail?

It's 1mm white cross-link foam. I first tie it in on top of the eyes and claws, then fold it back over and wrap wire starting at the ribbing point. Then I secure it all. After that, I airbrush with brown, olive and a tinge of orange.Then I coat with Clear Cure Goo. So yeah, a lot more work, but fun to tie.
