The borders were still too plain in colour so we decided to apply some tan antique to stand out the contrast

The next part is the attachment of the leaves, riveted by hand because of the form and volumes of the helm #handmade #leathertutorial #leathercraft #leatherwork #leatherarmor #leather #cuero #coito #artesania #madeingalicia #larp

The borders of the helm are golden, but I wanted to make it look like metal, so some lightning and shadowing were required. The first two hands are bronze, then three more of light golden applied in little touches in the center of the convex volumes

The leaves were going to be stained with tones of green, red and brown. The main technic is a cloth shadowing (I don't know the technical name in english) along each leaf, combined with some touches of the wool daubers to create uneven
withered stains of red and brown

And now the painting! I gave them a midyellow tone base with a little bit of brown, painted with airbrush, because the client want a late summer-early autumn tone to contrast the green of the helm. The decorative borders are going to be golden, so hopefully the contrast will still match somehow
