Tiger on 610 H

Lately I have been feeling pretty good about my work so as normally happens I needed something to put me back in my place. I changed the skeleton Doraldo weave to use more natural colors with a different backround that I though might be interesting. Well I am disappointed big time for lots of reasons. One(and one I expect will get worse) rod work is now taking much longer than ever before. One of the byproducts of the Golden Years Bull I reccon. Then The actual weave has two problems. 1. More gaps than the teeth of my first date in high school. Likely magnified by the fact I used some old Satin Tone thread from Holland and it is much firmer than my normal Gudebrod and Bullard black. I imagine the A thread of the weave just wouldnt compress the Holland. What ever the reason it just came out crappy. 2. Because I used a light backround I lost the white bones. Oh they are there alright but they blend right in to the backround. Plus I used plain nylon white and though I used CP it just doesnt stand out. Of course being almost like a politician I can spin this into - this new process gives an almost mystic impression of an old favorite Dorado weave(bull). I am not cutting it off because everything around it is bitchen(there is a phrase that will date me) and I need the weave to keep my ego in check. The JTOBs are cool and subtle and the tiger just gives me a tone of ideas(again?). It is an underwrap of 3 red threads(all the same) and one black. Then the over wrap was the same with 3 sacrificials leaving the one black. Looks cool in the distance and cool up very close. Anyway here are the pics and I did a couple exposier set ups on the tiger neither make me very happy.
