Flaming Skull weave

[Doublerunner]

Here are some pics of a "weave" I just put on a rod.

This first pic shows all the threads loaded onto the loom. There are almost 400 individual threads in total



The weave has now started and there are about 20 wraps/turns done in this pattern so far. There are 7 total colors being used. It's too soon to see the image developing



Now I am about 75 percent done and you can see the image developing



The image is complete



This pic shows the image and the top trim band



And now both trim bands are on and all I need to do now is put the finish on

That's cool. How long did that take you?

I had done simple weaves with 1 colors, and maybe 20 rows of tread. I know your is complicated. that would make a great winter project.

Thank you for the kind words. About 3 hours to design it, about 4 hours to load it on the loom and about 40 hours to weave it. 6 color changes and 109 passes x 90 threads wide. Size A ncp over size D ncp

That's a sick wrap!
You're really ramping up your wrapping skills, Doublerunner. I hope to see some sweet customs coming out of your workshop soon.

Wow that is awesome. A lot of guys use the fish decals and such, its cool to see some different thinking out there. Do you listen to metal or do you just like skulls?
