The experiment in acrylics abandoned, I went back to something I KNOW I can do-- watercolours. It's not the best I've ever done, but I like it. It does what I want. It's actually watercolour, pencil, and acrylic. I'll have to go back to Michael's for something with which to seal it, but that's okay.

I got a lot less accomplished today than I wanted to, but this, at least, makes me feel good.

Pretty please with eight tons of sugar on it -- send me a muslin with the outlines of that, and a large email picture so I can see the shading? I would LOVE to try appliqueing that for you.

WOW!

Yso, that is lovely! I wish I had your talent. Are you going to post a picture of the finished product?

nik,
is there a way you could paint in in water colors, find your outlines for everything and then transfer the outline to the leather and paint it in the acrylics?

I think it would really look best painted on the leather....

I like the applique idea too....it'd be cool if you could use different colored leathers to do that. I have tons of appholstery leather (yah I know my spelling is terrible) anyway - I have tons of leather scraps...many colors.....
leme know.
