Default How did I make this vine stringer?

I made the vine stringer and the pumpkin in 2012 but I dont remember how I made the stringer. I have tried to reproduce it but I am doing something wrong because the dark lines are either very faded/light or bleed into the green. Any suggestions?

Maybe you were using encased black stringer to make them? I do that when I want a true black, but don't want the black to web.

Did you encase the striped green? It looks really shiny to me, like maybe you encased the whole thing.

Are the lines black? Or dark brown? Hard to tell in the pic.

Not sure of the base color. The stripes look like intense black and the entire cane appears to be encased in med grass green.

You have to put deep grooves in the green, then lay down the black lines inside of the grooves.

To me, this looks like Moretti Opaque Grass Green (Med. or Dk.) base with CiM Hades Black stringer lines, heated and pulled...

I tried to do that, and the lines didn't come out right. I'll try again. :\

Yeah, or Intense black. I've noticed some of my more recent purchases of intense black aren't as good as some earlier ones. of course since I never date anything (nor did I ever separate out my moretti from my Vetrofond...)...
