This is a 4 color chevron fade. It is my first try at a closed wrap. I still need a lot more practice compared to some of the work I see here

OMG that is LOOOOONNNNGGGG. THe longer the more difficult, look closely - most wraps are shorter and have less repeats. That had to take forever. Looks good, but next time you might want to do somethig a little bit shorter as they are easier to close up and wrap.

Yeah its about 13" long, about 10 hrs to do it. the blank had some defects and was scratched so I wanted to do it long enough to cover them up. I bet a shorter one would be alot easier but given the situation I figured why not give it a shot.

It's a whole lot better than my first closed wrap (and a lot longer too). Very good job.
