Members Tina Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Posted February 14, 2008 I finnally today got the colors I've been waiting for so I could finish of the coloring on this piece today. I have used: The zebra pattern is Angelius leather acryllic paint in black and white. The rest: Fiebing's antiquing brittish tan and mahogany on the lions medium brown mixed with 1/3 mahogany on all edges and over the zebra pattern. Medium brown and a blunder (I used a used wool thingie with red dye left on it) and I superlike the end resault. Sometimes Luck is just the beginning:-) This is eventually going to be a handbag/purse, but still have loads to do. I will post up more pictures as I finish the pieces of. Have a great evening all//Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Members Tina Posted February 14, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 14, 2008 Hi all:-) I can't wait toooo. I know I have to do some wet forming to the side pieces...New territory for me and I have to get me some stuff to form it over. A question, do I tool the leather before or after the wet forming? The color on the "quilting" is actually more red in real life, a really warm color and I love it even if it was a boo boo to begin with I love zebra/wild animal patterns and you're probably going to se a few pieces here and there with it :-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members tazzmann Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Posted February 14, 2008 I agree with the rest. Beautiful tooling and color. The owner of this purse is going to be the envy of the town!
