Begin dubbing your body. The
dubbing here is dye hard dubbing
which dubs nicely to thread. I like
the look of equal parts pink, purple,
and black (at 1/3 each).

Rib the body with the medium silver
tinsel. I like five wraps. The center
wrap should fall in the center of the
purple section.

Select a small clip of American
Opossum in white and orange. I like
to leave the guard hairs left in but
they can be removed for a cleaner
look. Secure the white followed
by orange. Keep in mind that four
different colors will make up the
wing, so only a quarter of a wing is
necessary for each color.
