[@lizwithano1301]

your voice is really relaxing. it would be great if you narrated what you were doing tho

[@shetiesflies]

Definitely considering some more soft spoken narration in the future! Thank you!!

[@toadleyasmr]

hard agree, and i'd love to hear the actual process if it were closer to a mic

[@HDMScorp]

Some soft spoken narration would be the cherry on top! Just subscribed! ❤

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much!! Considering some more soft spoken elements 😊

So glad I found this! Very cool concept for ASMR, and very well done on the visual quality. Please keep this going!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! More on the way!

[@thebookofellie3953]

Found you on Instagram. I love your work, very relaxing and very unique! Perfect for falling asleep the night before a fishing trip 🩷

[@shetiesflies]

So glad you made it here! Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the vibes! Let me know how the fishing trip goes!

[@jebsies]

The whispers in your introduction are so crisp! Please can we get a detailed whisper version 🥹🔥

[@shetiesflies]

Thanks so much!! Working now on how to incorporate soft spoken versions into the workflow 💙

[@jebsies]

Oh my gosh what a treat! So excited thank youuuu!

[@maryweste2745]

Initially started watching this so I could calm myself before falling asleep but I am 100% amazed watching lures being made. Great Job can't wait for more content

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you!! Glad they could help bring you some calm before sleep. More on the way!

[@junfart9869]

Gosh! This really makes want to get back into tying flies. Awsome video, definetly among the highest quality fly tying videos I have ever seen

[@shetiesflies]

Amazing compliment - thank you! Dip back into fly tying - it may be the moment of zen you need in your day 💙

[@gagglesucks3156]

Very unique idea, great execution 😮

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much!

[@rosieinman01]

I’ve been fishing maybe once or twice in my life and was not the best at it. But I am absolutely obsessed with these videos… so so so creative and so relaxing!!!!!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you! So glad non-anglers are enjoying these, too!

[@Mrfluefiske]

This is beautiful 🙌 All the best, Eivind Berulfsen.

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much!! Happy you enjoyed it! 💙

[@ken92008badtown]

Amazing artistry. Agree with other comments. The production value is very good. 👍Keep up the good work. Much appreciated!

[@shetiesflies]

Appreciate the encouragement! More on the way! 💙

[@02222ping]

really LOVED this type of asmr❤❤

[@shetiesflies]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@BP_on_ice]

this is AMAZING! found you on insta and HAD to listen/see the full video!! subscribed! hope you make videos without background noises!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much!

[@IvyannFrost]

Stumbled on your instagram and subscribed right away. I love tiny artworks

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much for subscribing! Me, too!! It’s so fun to be able to finish something in one sitting, too! 💙

[@M3talM4ster]

This is such a wonderful idea. Making amazing content, beautiful lures. I hope you’re also able to sell the lures to fishermen or just people who like your art and you profit off them.

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you! No plans to sell at the moment, but I may give some away in the future 😊

[@chunchun7493]

I’m so glad I found you like your insane!!!! Your work is awesome and you do great asmr :D

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re here!

[@philippmeyer3490]

Wow! What a Masterpiece!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you! 💙

[@erintheairduck]

These are amazing - so much detail and craftsmanship. ASMR factor is awesome, too - if I may, some of the scissor snips are a bit intense compared to the rest of the sounds. Those other sounds are awesome, tho…like the wool? Perfect. Looking forward to more videos!

[@shetiesflies]

Completely agree! We’re working on dialing all the audio in. Thank you for the very helpful feedback!

[@DJDaef]

Awesome content!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you! Appreciate it!!

[@WooGeezy]

Found you on Instagram and now I’m hooked…pun intended. 😂

[@shetiesflies]

😂😂 So glad you’re here!

[@labrat_goyle]

I found you from your Instagram! Wanted to say you have a very nice whisper (apologies if that sounds odd lol), would you ever do more talking in a video? Like explaining what you’re doing and whatnot? Either way I am fascinated by these, very relaxing!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! Glad you’re here!! I’m definitely considering some more soft spoken elements in the future. 💙

[@martinkudrjavcev1322]

Your videos are a revolution. Can you name the Bobbin Holder you use for thick threads?

[@shetiesflies]

An XFISHMAN ceramic bobbin at the moment 😊

[@spookyskellinton]

Here before you the channel blows up

[@shetiesflies]

Welcome!!! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! Would love to see continued growth! 🤞

[@johnthomas5806]

looks like a fun tied jig...

[@shetiesflies]

It was fun! This one was especially soothing 😊

[@jordan-jy4yv]

I love ur videos thank u so much

[@shetiesflies]

Thank YOU for watching! I so appreciate it!

[@FasterDrivers]

❤❤❤❤❤. Found the type of content that lulls me to sleep....😊

[@shetiesflies]

Exactly what I was hoping to hear!

[@TheMysticfrog07]

I'm incredibly curious to know what they look like under water. Have you considered adding a short section at the end in a clear tank to see how well they work when wet? Not that I could ever cast one of these out. They are truly beautiful.

[@shetiesflies]

Definitely working on how to showcase how these swim. On my radar to fit into the work flow :)

[@roenna.a]

Discovered you on instagram, so relaxing! I hope your channel continues to grow 😊❤

[@shetiesflies]

Welcome!! So grateful! What did you think of the long form?

[@roenna.a]

⁠@@shetiesflies I loved it! There aren’t many ASMR channels that use music in their videos which I like a lot, and while the sounds are super nice and relaxing, I especially love the precise and deliberate movements throughout the video. Good job 😊

[@depunktfly]

Great pattern 😃

[@sibyllevayne]

This is absolutely beautiful and relaxing, I'm really happy that YT recommend me your channel, you're super talented gurl, keep it up 👏🏻 new subscriber ❤

[@shetiesflies]

I so appreciate that!! Thank you so much!!

[@georgepretnick4460]

Great tie. With slender fingers and hands like these, I would like to see a really small tie, like a size 18 to 20 dry fly.

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! Incidentally, I picked up some size 20 nymph hooks last week. They may make an appearance soon! 😊

[@anthological2117]

y'know how people use the phrase "shrimp colors" to refer to colors that are outside the range of human vision, and how that's occasionally been extended to "shrimp problems" "shrimp emotions" as anything from the realm of shrimps that's incomprehensible to the human mind (or more vaguely, just beyond human comprehension)? your use of "magic" in the title and the slow artistic process here transforming our human plastic and metal into an extremely shrimp-like thing evokes (in me, at least) some kind of mythic envoy to the world of shrimps. .. I like the stripey legs :)

[@shetiesflies]

I dig this so much! I can’t take credit for the name of the pattern, but I love that the result was evocative and transported you. This is often how I feel at the vise. World of shrimps sounds like a sweet parallel reality just outside our human perception! Also, the stripy legs are one of my favorite touches. Glad you enjoyed!!

[@DalePickett-d7c]

Love these videos as well as videos by Davie mcphail

[@shetiesflies]

McPhail has the most soothing voice - 100% agree!!

[@johnmcgowan2842]

Been watching at bedtime for 3 nights now and I've never seen you finish a lure!

[@shetiesflies]

Mission accomplished! So glad you were able to nod off to these! 💙

[@bluebrrri]

Amazing

[@shetiesflies]

Thanks!

[@rickygiffin22]

You can extend the life of your scissors by putting a kink in the lead and "helicoptering" the lead tag end, and it will snap free at the kink instead of having to cut it with your scissors.

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you!! I love tips like these!

[@cnelick14]

What’s the background music? Super ambient with the vid!

[@shetiesflies]

It’s Abyssal Starry Sky by NargoMusic 😊

Estimada joven, me quito el sombrero por tan maravillosa obra de arte, me suscribo para intentar aprender de su maestria. un saludo desde SEVILLA ESPAÑA .

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Wow 😯. Absolutely fantastic tieing skills 👏 👌. You could put in a bowl of real Shrimps 🍤. And have bets on picking it out, from the rest 😀 😉

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you!! Don’t want anyone to break a tooth! 🤣

[@wisho-st8rp]

I mean this in the most respectful way, you have beautiful hands

[@shetiesflies]

A lovely compliment. Thank you!

[@sugriv3405]

Is there any technique to bend hooks like this one?

[@shetiesflies]

It would be difficult but possible. You’d likely have to heat the hook, but then risk ruining the temper and having the hook shatter, especially with a big bite.

[@sugriv3405]

@@shetiesflies thankyou ❤️

[@anonymiss8958]

Those tools!!! Where do we find those tools 😍😍😍

[@shetiesflies]

A local fly shop is typically my first recommendation because they’re typically a passionate tier there to help a beginner, and you can also have great luck online at a number of retailers like Orvis, Bass Pro, and even Amazon. Some materials are more readily available on EBay 😊

[@marklozano8089]

You should list your tools, as well as your materials

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you for the suggestion! Were there any tools in particular you're curious about?

[@marklozano8089]

@@shetiesflies I am intrigued by the sizzles you were using

[@alyssabell3002]

How does the thing with the string not roll all the way away when you let go of it??

[@shetiesflies]

Which thing?

[@alyssabell3002]

@@shetiesflies you know the string you wrap around the fly? Well even when you let go of it, it doesn’t unravel-it just stays tight there waiting for you to grab it again. Haha

[@shetiesflies]

I have a bobbin that the thread is threaded through. It's got enough weight to keep the thread taught, even when I let go :)

@@shetiesflies ohhhhh. that is a cool feature!

Thanks!

[@FasterDrivers]

How do you avoid the hook?! My fingers would be lacerated or punctured!

[@shetiesflies]

I don’t always, unfortunately. 🤣

[@FasterDrivers]

@@shetiesflies is there anything that could help? It might save your fingertips, but it might also affect how you build your masterpieces. I was thinking of a thimble, but not made out of metal....

Erin would/do you sell these?

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you for asking! No plans to sell flies at the moment, but I am working on having prints of a few of the flies made on fine art paper and hope to have those up soon 💙

[@cctrooper07]

Fuck yea

[@shetiesflies]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@rafsleurs8971]

At 1000 subs you should upload an unedited video. ☺

I’ve considered dropping a blooper reel, too, so folks can see that the process is far from perfect ☺️

[@rafsleurs8971]

@@shetiesflies That's also a lovely idea. 😊❤️

[@alannah0628]

i have no knowledge about fishing but I love asmr. are these for aesthetic purposes or do people really use them? I’d be too afraid to ruin it 😂

[@shetiesflies]

People do! Occasionally they get stuck in trees or on an underwater structure, but that’s the risk we take!

[@DalePickett-d7c]

I'll bet it catches some nice fish
