Author's Note
Tying Instructions: First tie in the ostrich herl and partially finish the head with thread without wrapping the herl. Then apply a narrow band of red enamel at the base of the head and, while it's still wet, wrap two turns of the ostrich herl. Finish the front portion of the head with black tying thread.
