Thanks for all the compliments. I do the fancy work as art. The time involved is so great that you have to just enjoy it as artwork cause on an hourly basis you are working for nothing.

Specialist's rod pictured here , is not the fade. the fade is the one CSK mentioned his friend got. Thats a pattern where i use a dark blue which disappears into the black background when coated with epoxy. Over the next couple of years , as the sunlight fades the dark blue thread to light blue , the main pattern already visible will grow a winged crest. Very difficult since every thread must go down one at a time in an exact pattern and its a closed pattern where 4 boxes have to close down to leave no space when done. Its like 4 normal patterns worked all at once that all come together at the end.

This is how it looks now
