Harlequin Romance







Hand tooled, carved and sculpted leather.

Hand painted in acrylics and sealed with a waterproof sheen.

I heavily textured these when tooling to mimic a paper mache look to them, and added gold "aging" around the edges and eyes.

They are meant to be sold as a pair, the "female" with an embellishment of dainty white feathers.
