I don't believe ANY of "my" patterns are original, I'm sure they have all
"been done before," but in most cases I did combine the parts of ther
patterns, or change materials, entirely on my own, to suit what seemed my
own special needs. So, in that sense, they are the product of my
imagination, and my design, not copies.

Opinions? Guidelines? Again, it's Winter and there is time for wasting on
such questionsG

Avoid cutesy names. Try to be reasonably descriptive. For example, there
are a million variants of the elk hair caddis, so if you call something
a "Sparkle wing elk hair caddis", it has some meaning, and indicates
that the fly is a variant of a standard pattern. Also, you can use the
term Variant a lot.
