THE LESSON 23 



in order to level up and form a smooth surface 

 for the tinsel to lie on. Then take the flat 

 tinsel (10) in the tweezers, and wind it carefully 

 from left to right up the body to the shoulder, 

 then fasten off and remove the end. Now bring 

 up the oval tinsel (7) in coils about T 3 ^ of an inch 

 apart, and fasten in the same manner, cutting off 

 and removing the 

 end. The body will 

 now appear as shown 

 at Fig. 14. 



It remains to be de- 

 termined what form 

 of body the student 

 will be content with, 



but it is advisable to make the various forms and 

 work out the instructions separately ; that is to 

 say, first form a body complete as shown in Fig. 9, 

 which is the "plain floss body" without the hackle, 

 after which form a body with the addition of 

 the hackle, as shown in Fig. 11. Or form the 

 plain silver body, as described and shown in 

 Fig. 14. If it is desired to put a hackle on the 

 silver body, as shown in Fig. 11, it is necessary 

 to work to the instructions given as in Fig. 10, 

 tying in the hackle (9) with the white packing 

 floss (11). In bringing up the tinsel, care must 

 be exercised to avoid tying in any of the hackle 

 fibres.
