Old bag fever

I've been down with a fever this weekend, yesterday I was more or less content with just lying on the couch or in bed, sleeping, watching tv, and feeling terribly sorry for myself.

This morning I felt a bit better, and as I'm not too good at sitting still I decided to finally do something about this grey leather bag I picked up in kierrätyskeskus for zero euros.

 So I got out my leather paints, and though I originally planned to 

paint this with some white and yellow, 

the white paint is a bit clumpy and the yellow doesn't cover well enough, 

so I opted for this minty turquoise instead!

Probably should've planned this out a bit better, but in my feverish state I really didn't feel like it..!

 Here's the part under the flap. I think they might be leaves of some kind.

 I've been painting it on and off for the last 5 hours, so it has gotten dark outside (hence the change in the perceived colour change in the bag for the last 2 photos).

I present to you, geometrics, painted with a wobbly fever-ridden hand:

I think I'll still do some more work on it tomorrow, or whenever I have time, 

but enough for tonight anyways (or it could turn in to one of those this-seemed-like-a-really-good-idea-last-night or this-looked-much-prettier-in-semi-darkness projects). 

Which happen sometimes. 

But hopefully not with this one!


(Update, the next day: finished the grey bag this morning, and it really is quite a greenish grey, now that I looked at it properly, so I'm glad I went with the turquoise paint!
Here's the finished bag:

I redefined some of the lines and made the blocked turquoise parts more vivid).
