sparkler crosswrap

[Dale Lynch]

Hey fellas, Finished up another wrap. Ti gold long clicker, pattern is called Sparkler, modified to fit. I used silver and gunmetal metallic thread for the star. Light yellow, gold, orange, red, and burgandy for the backround and a little black in the center.

Amazing, Dale.
I would love to see some photographs of the process.

@Dale Lynch

I am truly amazed at your "thread wrapping" skills ! ! ! ! !

That pen barrel is very impressive . . . the pattern is so symmetric ! !

VERY well-done, indeed ! !

That's amazing! I'm a penmaker, but you are an artist!

Awesome work.

That's awesome! I see why you call it sparkler. The arc shape of the "connectors" (for lack of a better word) is really cool. I 3rd, 4th, or whatever, seeing pictures of the process. I can't see myself having the patience to do that, but would love to see it.

I'm wondering, if you are showing us this one, what masterpiece might you have saved for a bash contest?

Simply beautiful! I love seeing your artistry Dale - very unique and very much underappreciated. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thanks fellas, I'm glad you like it. The pattern I used as a basis was originally done in various shades of purple. To me that's not sparkly so I changed up the colors to silver and fire.
I did a thread awhile back showing some of the process using a different pattern. https://www.penturners.org/threads/sky-sharks-crosswrap-how-to-kinda.170402/

Todd, the arc connectors was the reason I chose it, I'm glad you noticed them. It was done with a +1 thread count. Meaning 1silver 1gunmetal 1 yellow, 1silver 1 gunmetal 2 yellow etc. till I got to 8 changing colors along the way.

Thanks for the link. That does clear it up a little. Definitely don't want to drop that part way through.
