They are beautiful. What is the pattern in the lower right corner?

Those are Ausable Wulffs. I like tying them. The original pattern
calls for a body dubbed with "urine burned belly fur of an australian
possum". Can't imagine where Fran Betters first got a hold of that
pelt. These days I just use march brown colored beaver dubbing and call
it good. Every so often I acquire a pinch of the real stuff, which is
sort of nifty.

Those are nice Peter.
