Thanks Din.

Did you tie the head first then slide the beeds on and then tie the tail? or did you tie over the beeds?

[Din]

carl, this is what i did...

 

slipped the beads on first. tie in ice fur on the tail fold back over itself wrap thread 3-4 times. push beads back to touch tail then bring thread over the beads and do a couple wraps to keep the beads in place. pull over ice fur. tie in small amount of elk. then ice dub.

I was going to try your pattern because it looks great. I had tied golden stones with beads for a swap and I had tied the head portion slipped on the beads and then tied the tail.

Thanks, have yet to try them so can't vouch for them..but i do like the way they look. Your way would work too just more steps to tie off and restart. either way its a fairly simple tie.
