[ChristianPinkerton]

Bought a lighter, made a case.

Pretty cool looking lighter and pocket knife. Did you take any progressive pics of the lighter cover being made?

Saw your lighter. Like the case

No but I can take photos of the ones I stuffed up?

G'Day,

 The markings on the skin  are just perfect. Even the markings on the blade of the knife look cool too. 

Speaking of natural  colours Rockoboy, , I have thought about using stuff like paprika, turmeric...and tea... as a natural dye, amongst others. I'll experiment with water based & oil based versions.

They can stain clothing & kitchen benches  if you're not careful when cooking. 

I think the oil based version will work better.... the  paprika on my  steak tonight and my love of curries  gave me the idea.

Interesting thoughts. Reminds me of Vinegaroon dye.

G'Day,  

My Mother used to spin and prepare  her own wool, knit , make garments etc. While she kept her colours natural, as in how they came off the sheeps back, her friends used natural dyes like  boiled spinach water, (amongst other  vegies and plants) , mulberries, assorted berries etc.  I guess thats where the influence came from .
