Members Tina Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 So, I finally got the last thing done on this purse... This has become a small favourite with me, I really like the model and will for sure make more in the future. The background is dyed with Angelus 'Blue Jean' blue dye and the snakes with a mix of 'english tan' and 'medium brown. I painted all the scrolls with Angelus acrylic leather paint in 'bronze', 'gold' and 'pewter'. I have use some of my last (buhuu) old Tandy medium brown antiquing, I really try to strech this one as much as I can. This purse is 7,5'x7,5' in closed meassurment, almost 4' deep and have 2 inner pockets with zippers. It's also lined with bright beige suede. The only thing I'm not happy with is the stiching on the inside of the bottom...I did make a small surprice there (tzzz...rattle, rattle *s*) I need to learn how to make the "back side" stiching even, anyone having some great tips'n'tricks?
