Let’s return to one of my favorite ways to unwind – freestyle tying on the vise!
Admittedly, there wasn’t much actual ‘tying’ involved, but the process of building this fly without a pattern was such a welcome meditation during an otherwise very busy week. I hope that feeling of peace and relaxation permeates the screen and makes it all the way to you, dear viewer, wherever you are across the globe. 💙 Materials and tools are listed and linked below!
