With it being the New Year I have decided that 2013 will be the year of experimentation. Over the years I have stockpiled several ideas that I would like to try but have never had the time to indulge myself - instead I have concentrated on my jewelry making. So, I have decided - now is the time...
I have been experimenting with paint on leather. I wanted to see what works and whether the paint would react with the leather and would it stay put. I painted both sides of a really nice black leather and I am really pleased with the results. When folded there is a small amount of cracking but I have read that if you flex the leather as is dries that this can be minimised.
I also painted this tan leather which I had dyed myself. The white paint yellowed quite a bit so I will try adding another coat and see how that does. I am a little worried about the cracking. Has anyone had any success with painting on leather? What paint did you use? Would love to know!
