Default Home made camo - (sort of) PICS UPDATED !

I picked up some desert camo on E-bay and am adding some sticks & limbs. I thought it turned out pretty cool, what do you think ?








I hung the pants in the woods to dry and thought I would get some photos .

Thanks guys. I used actual limbs and painted them with black paint and then pressed them into the pants , then used a small brush to stipple spots here and there that didn't take. Then I used a smaller brush to stipple the small branches. If you just use regular brush strokes , it looks flat but if you stipply the brush it loks more natural.

Looks great! I especially like the black branches not being solid black...... kind of mottled. That would be great cam, lots of applications.
