Deer hair mouse

After a long period away from my vise (vice?) I tied a deer hair mouse for someone special.
It's always great fun tying with deer hair.

I'm using Danville Flat Wax nylon here.
Danville Flymaster Plus is another thread I have been
using for many years for tying deer hair flies.

A couple of different coloured deer hair stacked for some nice effects

The body is ready to be shaped with razor blade and scissors

Body is shaped and the ears are tied in.
Now spin the head and add whiskers (moose body) between the first
and second bunch of hair

Using two pieces of paper to separate the whiskers preventing
these from trimmed while shaping the head

What a mess!...

The coloured stacks on the back

Another rodent is ready to conquer the world! 😃
