Green St Croix SC11 SW70 blank with green and gold colour scheme and a little bit of black for some contrast. I can handle those olive branches but the spiral ones are a real pain in the a... I dis a couple of spiral wrapped fish pattern many years ago and thought this was the perfect place to give them another go. I was really happy with the result. The thread is Brother polyester (emerald green), Fish Hawk silk sparkle golds and some Madeira black.

Outstanding work Mark!
Love those grips too. How about a bit of a tutorial on making them?

Brilliant work as always Mark, you really have those fish wraps down pat and good to see there is no BLUE anywhere on it but then again I would have given up by now as well :-

Cheers

That is sensational work. How do you manage to get such a clean olive branch on a wrap like that?

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Pedro, you are right - I have given up - almost! There is always next year, and the year after. Just like the Ashes!
Owen I'll look at doing a tutorial on the inlays. They really aren't that hard but do take a little time.

Thanks again
Mark
