Inspired Chevrons

After seeing a couple of these kinds of fades (especially a red one done by someone here, who I can not remember there screenname) Had to give it a try. Very nice and clean looking. A little packing to even things up and off to finish.

It is actually one thread of yellow past three shades of grey. Will post all the colors used later, and I am sure you will like the handle as it was inspired by you.
