  1. Cheers for that...May I ask why you don't like them? Sorry for being a pest - I just don't want to spend cash unnecessarily!
  2. Thanks again I'll have a look at that! I think I'm just gonna buy one of each and see what I like best... Sharpie Oil Marker Sharpie General Marker The Copic coloured marker An artist friend of mine told me about Sakura Permapaque too.. http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/marker-paint-markers He uses them on paper and says they are brilliant but has no experience of leather. I noticed they can be used on vellum so they maybe worth a shot too. I think I may try one of these as well. Has anyone had any experience of Sakura? So many choices AAARGH!! My head is going to explode lol... Thanks for your help everyone - much appreciated Nicky xx
  3. Hi I know nothing about this so bear with me! I am hopeless with a brush as my hands shake and have spent the last day researching paint pens and which would be the best for decoration. I found these in the US - they aren't on the Uk site http://www.sharpie.com/enCA/Products/Pages/PaintMarkers.aspx I know acrylics are OK, but what about oils and sealing them? If oil is baaaad do you have any suggestions about paint markers? I plan to use the main colour (for collars) using a dye. Can I dye the whole thing then apply the decoration straight over the dye, or would I have to use a smaller brush and dye around the design? Thanks very much.. Nicky x
  4. Thanks for that! Conveniently my cousin lives in Thrapston :D I did have a quick look but maybe I missed something. Thanks I shall have a closer look Nicky x
  5. Hi Bear with me as this may sound a stupid question! I am doing a project in the UK and am having a hell of a job trying to find leather hides in colours such as pink, red, blue etc that can be used for the equivalent of belt strength grade. I don't mind importing so any pointers in the right direction would be gratefully received Nicky XX
