Jungle theme handbag

[jshill]

I've been making this bag on and off since September due to work have only just managed to finish it.I'm pretty pleased with the lacing and the general theme of the bag considering I've had to put it down and pick it back up at a later date. It is based off a Tandy pattern I copied off one of their Magnolia bag kits (I think). Its also the first time I have used acrylic paints and they seem to have worked well. Have to wait to see how they handle wear and tear. Let me know what you think?

Nice job! I really like the leaves you have incorporated.

That's really cool, great lacing job, and the colors just pop...

Thanks. Got to find ways to make our off cuts and scraps useful.

Cheers, I was worried about the colours being too bright before I antique everything but they turned out pretty good.

Awesome bag! 

If I may ask:

Did you use resist on the colors before antique? (since you were afraid of their brightness) 

What antique did you use, and which colors? They look so good!

Hey sorry for the late reply Goldberry I did use a resist after painting using acrylics I used Eco-flo super sheen and the antique was Eco flo brun fonce gel antique. The acrylics I bought off eBay I think they are for minutiae painting but I got a set of 150 different colours for super cheap.
