The body is created by
winding
ostrich, but folding the floss forward and backward to create segments
and build up thickness of body.
Tie in floss (four strands of normal floss), tie in ostrich, wind
ostrich to ¼ of body (2/3 turns). Bring over floss, tie
down, working forward to thorax area. Fold back floss and ostrich
back to the first segment, and repeat above for second segment.
Repeat again for 2 more segments, so four in total are created in the
body area.
Repeat similar for thorax, but wing case tied in one over thorax.
Ostrich is tied in 3 segments, tying in the biots for the legs as you
go.
