It also had a vinyl sweatband around the outside that I marked-up, but it wasn't looking too good. That's when I had to cover it in the cloth. Sharpie does make several different colors of ink, but I only used black. The rest is mixed acrylic paint, I was shooting for a natural/organic color. Up close it is about the color of dried blood, a nice color. I was blasé about how I constructed it simply because they don't compare to Cammo's awesome lids. Cammo's work inspired me to create this... on a budget.
