Etsy seller Lisbanoe Leather Craft in the UK offers precisely rendered leather goods, including this impressively realistic backpack that looks like the shell of a tortoise. The preparation, she says, is "very labor intensive", taking four weeks of work for each backpack. But the result is an astonishingly detailed work of painted leather.
Different colors and sizes are available, including one that is a full thirty inches long.
The artist's shop includes this backpack clearly inspired by Bowser from Super Mario Bros.

They were. And, they didn't smell. I think this supplier was from Wyoming or around there. I never considered making cool Halloween costumes for my kids when they were small. For sure they easily would have won any contest they entered.

When I had my own company I did a lot of SouthWestern artworks for some of the art galleries that sold my wares. I found a man that sold huge snapping turtle shells that I bought and turned them into artworks. I wish I had kept a few. They were easily the size of the shell in your photo.
