Hi, everyone:

I just wanted to post a few images of my latest work. Both of these projects were colored using Tandy's new Eco-Flo All-In-One Stains. The key fob is Primrose Red and the wristband is Desert Tan.

Comments or questions are certainly welcomed! :)

Regards, -Alex

Nice work, very clean.

Is the Primrose Red a All-n-One ? i know the Desert Tan is. The eco Range Tan dye is almost a perfect match to the Desert Tan All-n-One.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas. Much appreciated. :) I especially like it when someone uses the word "clean" to describe my work. Coming from hill country in the Southeast, most craftwork produced in this area is simple, utilitarian, and undecorated, so "clean" is about the best compliment you can get. I know western floral with silver accents is the classic style for leatherwork, but that's just not me.

Freak, Primrose Red is indeed an All-In-One color (2605-11). And as you mention, Range Tan Leather Dye is a close match for Desert Tan, but I prefer the All-In-One because the color is more vivid and even. Plus, it gives a bit of an antique highlight to your stamping.

Best, -Alex

No special compartment, Don. Just a simple key fob that puts leather in your hand instead of metal when you're reaching for your keys.

When I first read your post and you asked how it "worked", I got a little worried about you... Thinking maybe you've been spending too much time in the shop... :P :biggrin:
