RussP 22,192 Posted September 2, 2015 Those black n white snakeskin patterns look really good, Ian. Can't wait to see the finished product. Actually, I think I like 'em as much, if not more than the gold................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 2, 2015 They are nice Russ, more a black and cream colour though. The only one I'm keeping is the smallest of them all for my Black Bay. Hopefully it will be the right size. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 4, 2015 Finally finished this Purple Toady. 26/22. Under different light it's blue but to my eyes it's purple. very comfy to wear with the 4mm taper. wish I had a better watch to put it on. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 11, 2015 Knocking up a couple of thick soft Alien Grey (ex Roswell) 26, 24 and 22mm straps.. Will stitch these up over the next few days and see how they look. and another Alien dyed Black in 23/20 for Fifty Fathoms. This one will be stitched with lumed thread. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 12, 2015 Here's the Black Alien finished with lume thread. 23/20 120x75.. love it Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 14, 2015 More Alien straps beginning to take shape. (Sorry about phone focus) Waiting on some different colour threads in the mail from Ali and I'll stitch these up. 30+ days already. Must be on the slow boat from China.

RussP 22,192 Posted September 14, 2015 That lume stitch has me intrigued, Ian. Very creative. Your work continues to impress. Well Done !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 14, 2015 That lume stitch has me intrigued, Ian. Very creative. Your work continues to impress. Well Done !! Thank you Russ, After buying a 1000m roll online I was unimpressed. Not with the lume but the gauge of the thread. It was so bloody thin. The lume is impregnated into the polyester fibers as it is manufactured so it glows real nice. I was telling a colleague about the fail and he suggested I "spin" it. Like how rope is made.. I set about following his instructions and it damn well worked. It's now 4 times thicker than it was originally, tightly spun and quite usable as a stitching thread. Only drawback is the labour intensiveness of the spinning process. At least I know it works. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted September 14, 2015 So now you have a 250m roll? Sort of but I have not done the entire roll. It's more like spin as you go. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
