PastorBob Report post Posted June 26, 2023 Very nice work! Looks great. Was the dye a mixture or a straight dye? What is the color? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spray applied reduced fiebings navy blue pro for the main panels then a blend of navy and white pearl for the flap crest and the straps. The white is a water base which I'd not mixed with an alcohol base die before but it seemed to work well. The mix had to be agitated to keep the peal flakes suspended. Then a final coat of resolve. Edge coating is also a custom mix to achieve a darker blue. Silverd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silverd I was wondering about the Michael Parkes connection too, because I thought I was familiar with his work. You made me take a close look at Night and Day again. Sure enough, the stacked triangles and the spiral are there but they're hard to notice with that rather lovely young woman in the way ;-) Nice bag too.
