Here's another Sirocco. Black one this time.

This was a good lesson for me in choosing blanks.
The blank I picked was very dark and gloomy, just glimmers of red in there. I thought it would go well with the black Sirocco.

When I turned it, it really brightened up. Polished up, it looks jewel-like.

I think it works still. The red is punchier, but the black lines and folds tie it to the black kit very well.
