Project in Progress

Recommended Posts

I'm making this padfolio for a friend and customer in the SCA. The design is her coat of arms.

Digital mockup of the design:

Partially painted:

The lower part of the shield and the background will be black, as well as the claws, tongue, teeth and horn. The eye will be black with a white sclera. (I suggested other colors, but she wants what she wants.) The whole thing will be stitched together with red cord.

I used artist's acrylic to do the painting, in titanium white and alizarin crimson. I'm really happy with the results, but I need stiffer brushes to push the paint around. It has a fairly heavy body and soft brushes don't work well to cover larger areas. I just need to fix the light in my kitchen and I'll be able to finish it.

Very nice, tasha! Heraldry is a great subject for leatherwork. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!
