basiclly the back of a collar or bracelet cane get very rough on the flesh side after dying so to prevent that take a glass burnisher or us the fat end of a wood burnishing tool from tandy and add water then make the leather slick and compressed and do it till its shine and smooth oh and another thing i would shy away from eco flow its nothing compared to fiebings

tan knote will work just remember to burninsh the back and u will need about 2 or 3 coats of tan knote

nope there isnt a pen to do that but i had that problem when i first started out but what u do is get a ball point modeling toll and while the leather is dry make marks on it but not to deep then when u wet it they should go away and leave a slight line that usual goes away but u can still see it sometimes but after dying the leather if the line is soft enough itll go away

u know this might sound stupid but i use a spoon to so apply idk it works pretty okay sometimes i get unevenness but it works. its kinda like spreading sauce on pizza dough soooooo maybe u might wanna try :3 just saying maybe im just crazy

just a little something i did in 5 mins for my sister.

so i was looking and researching how to make leather mask made all my templates getting all the tools soon and have been practicing with what i have but it came to me i had no idea how i wanted to color the mask. well i had an idea for a cool effect and i was wondering if anyone had used this. take a sponge and put blotches on the mask then let it dry then com back and do it again till u have nice dark patches then do a quick general coat and have this multi shade effect going on the leather or give it a bit of a splotched look. oh and one more thing how would one go about making leather dyes translucent

omg omg omg it really gorgeous lol but i have a question how did u get the dragon scale affect around the eyes im just stumped was it a stamp or just some swivel blade action
