Leather and champagne acrylic

This weekend I tried my hand at arm cuffs made of leather and painted with acrylics. I also made a wee leather ring as well. I'm ok with the results. I'm far happier with the flower cuff than I am with my lame Lichtensteinesque lips and cigarette. Handpainting shading film effect doesn't lend itself to the consistency of the real thing. I will be selling items like this in the future, but they will be much better than this. Practice = Precise.

The scanned images make it all look worse than it really is..sorry no digicam yet. If you're interested in any of these please see my journal for further details. I've included a picture of the cuffs as they look on an arm (and a sock in one!) and then laid out. Sorry to those with slower connections.
