I think the wrap came out very nice. Wrapping an elongated pattern like that is not the easiest thing to do, and I think you did a very good job. One thing I would do different is turn the lights on when you take a picture. The photo is dark, you need more light, that makes the threads looks much more vibrant and the pcitures look better.

You took the photo prior to epoxy, so next time just put the flash on. Or bring it inside, but a white sheet of paper behind it, and take teh picture under the brightest lights in the house. It looks good regrdless.
