Learned a few more things about painting stripes on this project. Main thing, tape the entire length for each stripe, not sections at a time. Saves a LOT of time and fussing around with tape and ruler.
The tote was very forgiving on 'bleed throughs' around the stripes and it was easy to get a 'good line' with touch-ups.
Products used were CeCe Caldwell Vintage White and Santa Fe Turquoise, Clear Wax, Yellow Frog Tape, Wax Brush, paint brush and a ruler to keep the lines as straight as possible.
Project # 3 will be posted November 18th at 7:00 am.
