Painted floral belt

[Double U Leather]

Here's the latest off the bench. It's my first floral/sheridan style belt, and the first one I've painted as well. My kid's make great guinea pigs for my new projects. Whether it be Bible covers, belts, rope cans, etc., they all get the first ones so I can find and fix the mistakes for the real customers...LOL. Anyway, I am pretty pleased with how this turned out. Let me know what ya'll think. Thanks.

Hi... Very nice job! One thing that I always liked about the acrylic paints is the fact that you can water them down and then build up the colors. You can really do a lot with those...

Thanks Kevin. I didn't do any watering down, but I felt like an artist mixing colors. I only wish I had a pallet or whatever it's called with the thumb hole.....you know what I mean. I could have had a funky lil cap on and the whole bit...LOL.....instead, I just used a chunk of cardboard and what I learned in kindergarten about colors and had at it. BTW, here's a couple more pics that I even figured out how to make smaller.
