Hi,
I'm brand-new to leatherworking. I've done just enough to order some leather offline, dampen it, and find out what a delightful medium it is (I get along well with most art forms.)
My question: I'd like to recreate a tooled leather belt I saw in a movie (which probably wasn't made of real leather, but anyway...). Awhile back I bought some leather strap already colored in the correct red color for the belt. When I was reading about leatherwork, I saw that coloring a piece usually follows tooling. Am I gonna end up with a mess if I try to dampen and work on this pre-dyed strap? Thanks.
