Title: brain tanned leggins PAINTED
Post by: Spotted Dog on June 19, 2015, 03:35:14 pm
I have a pair of central plains leggings almost complete. Fringe all cut and sized to me.
As soon as I get my paint cookies I will finish them and post pics.  Our house smells
like a camp fire.

Just a good start.  The left leg I need to cut in the fringe a little. I had a 3 year old granddaughter bugging me. :)

Spotted Dog, your leggings look great, don't know if I would have the nerve to paint beautiful braintan, I  really need to make a pair of leggins this winter. Bob

I like them!! I wouldn't worry about the paint too much if it were me, it has that look of age where the paint has faded some. That is unless you want it to look new as they would often repaint the clothing to make it look nice again. When I've used those cookies I've misted the hides with water first and then rubbed it in. That tends to accept quite a bit of paint and I'm almost forced to make them look freshly painted. Next time I'm going to try just rubbing the cookies into the hide for an aged look. Hope to post my new warshirt soon...almost finished

I dipped the black and yellow in water and drew with them. The red I put water on it and painted with my finger.
I can't wait to see yours and get mine finished too.
