New Penny Jigs?

[Bo_G]

Was trying to figure out what to do with heads painted with New Penny.

All are 1/16th and #4.

Top one is Grizzly Marabou Golden Brown and Opalescent Root Beer Estaz.

Bottom Left is Mallard Flank Wood Duck and Medium Ginger chenille.

Bottom right is Pheasant Body feathers and Peacock Herl (picture doesn't show well)as the body.

Not real sure if any of these will hunt.

New penny is a great color - NOW!!! add a little zip to it, you'll need clear powder paint and glitter. I make a great looking head from the new penny then a dip into clearcoat with orange glitter in it.

another favorite is green and purple glitter clear coat. Cheap and gives you lots of options.

I need an "Research & Developement" day on the water"

Great feedback Fatman. I have never added clear or glitter before. Until I found this site I had never mixed powder paint for custom colors. Should add a lot of dimension and fun.

Thanks!
