Strawberry Short Cake I-Pad Case

[Silverd]

I find that my clients are very creative and sometimes have more interesting ideas than do I...so I go with it!  When the young woman saw my standard 11" I-Pad Pro case in traditional Mahogany with Black trim she immediately asked if I could make her one in Pink with a Hair-on Cowhide Main flap.  "Of course I can" I said!   As the details of the project unfolded I suggested Blue trim, the rest was hers.  It took a lot of hours to actualize the end results but it was fun and since I'm only 3 years into this leather thing I considered it a learning experience.  Aren't they all?    BTW:  The pockets hold a special compact charger and charging cables and the zipper tube holds the writing stick.

Ebay and Amazon both sell leather paint in rattle cans.  Mfg is Brillo.  Small cans run about $10.00ea.  I use white to help cover then pink over the top as a final coat.

I would have never guessed paint!  How does it hold up?

I'll let you know.  The fragility factor of the product has been a concern from the start.  I've not had too much previous experience with cow hair skin and even less with painting leather but I gave her a one year warranty should it all go south.  The quality of the paint appeared to be excellent...and for the cost it should be.  I spray lots on leather including stains, clear coats, adhesive, water, goofproof and now paint.  So far so good.
