Members Tina Posted December 7, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 7, 2008 Super neato, Tina! Very original! May I ask what you used for the white? Hi and Thanks:-) The white is Angelus white acryllic leather paint that I mixed with some ochre. I paint several very thinn layers of white to get it "flat" and eventually opak (not sure how to spell that one) This way I don't get the paint ridges that is so common if you put on to much at one time.

Too true -- before I started leatherworking, I was heavily into knitting. I found some Swedish knitting patterns online, and it was loads of fun to translate them. It's also one of the reasons I started doing a Viking persona in the SCA. Most of the documentation is available in English, and if it's not, it's not that hard (for me) to translate. Quote
