The Carrie Challege

David Talley's Gray Ghost

For the most part, it turned out better than expected. It was definitely an interesting exercise. I had a hard time keeping the bucktail from being too unruly without the use of both hands and tension from a bobbin. Also, the head...my poor head! You wanted one shot, you got it, but it ain't pretty! Tools used: bodkin and scissors. Tool I missed most: whip finisher. As embarrassing as it is, I've never learned to do it by hand. Hence the sloppy head (half hitches weren't cutting the mustard).
