Lions on Leather #itsbetterinleather

I finished my leather lions today. It is 17" x 29" The pattern came from an Uncle Johnny magazine, Make it with Leather, April-May, 1976. It is on a piece of goatskin. It is a pinkish brown and hard to photograph. I wanted to use the other side of the leather, which was a perfect brown color for the lions, but it wouldn't hold a chalk line.
