Very nice. You are right about translucency. When using regular nylon when finishing depending on the blank color and thread color choice sometimes you almost get this 3D effect. Thing is you always don't know what to expect and first are disappointed of the bleed thru. Then when you look at it again your like wow that is cool.

I see looking at the pics some Irish Pendants hanging. Did you flame and burnish the wrap after trimming to get rid of that tag end to make your finish better without having to knife off later?

That purple should darken nice when finishing.
