Very cool Trifern! I really like the blues you have been doing. Never would’ve thought of using leather dye.

Now if they could only grow a blue tree, think of all that finishing effort you could save.

Seriously Joe, this is another great one.

Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for all the kind remarks. I really appreciate them all.

I forgot to mention that the two darker swirls on the inside were created by applying purple leather dye to create more of the ripple effect.
