Hi All!

Finally made this into something. I was stuck - couldn't figure out how to fix the gold flaking problem I had and ended up just mixing some paint to match the antique and painted all the darn flakes.

Before Fix:

I think I will change out the white paper for black paper.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Hilly!

(No special technique - that is the hide I am working with - poor shopping.)

Those are the only good looking bug bites I've ever seen :) I got a shoulder like that once (internet order), and although it was some really UGLY leather, the stuff I made from it had lots of "character" :)

I had gotten this piece a long time ago, internet order. Wish they would list sale hides with a number scale as to how much charater they have. :rofl: At least it was useful for something!

Very beautiful Crystal! Doggie looks very nice and realistic. I am familiar with that goldflake problem. Sometimes it has helped me to go over my work with a slightly damp rag after the colours are dry and just brush it off with the rag.
