  1. My thoughts exactly Spinner. As for the two rag method, that was actually one way I did try and it looks nice, but it wasn't near the same as the image I posted. However, the two rag results were pretty neat in an entire different way. I was wondering if that effect was even able to be done with dye, and I see that it is Eitherway, I am going to pass on it for now I suppose, but will be getting an airbrush in my future lol! I am attempting to make that set although I am a newb it's coming along ok so far. I am worried about the breast part the most. I think I have managed to copy everything else pretty closely. The good news about the breasts is I kept the patter I made so I can just make it smaller, more round, more pointy etc.. if need be.
  2. I wish I lived closer. I made both of these costumes last year fully with the exception of the shoes, socks, and hubby's hat.
  3. See this is the item I am talking about, I love the idea. Might even just be the colors on her that look so nice. Thanks all for your responses!!
  4. Thanks! I will try this for sure
  5. Does anyone know how to get the airburshed look using leather dyes? I came across a nice project today, but it looked like they used an airbrush. When I read the item description it said it had been hand dyed. It was almsot all baby blue but in the center of each part was solid white that sprinkled out into the blue, like an airbrush sprinkle. I am guessing it was done with acrylic paint dyes, but I have tried a few ways on scrap leather and it's just not right.
  6. Wow, nice job! This may be a quick fix to something I have had in mind!
  7. New to leather working, and new to the site. STill trying to see where all these things go after I type them :)

  8. Thanks everyone! Oh, apparently I need to add this site to my list of "fights" LOL. I only happen to see the comments by coming back to my thread manually. Need to site stalk some more and set my options up.
  9. Hello everyone, I figured it was time to stop stalking the site and say hello. My name is Renee and I am from Delaware. I just started leather crafting this past December. I do many crafts and thought this would be very interesting since I love to do just about any form of art out there. I have uploaded a few photos of items I have made sice December and all are my first trials. I have come across the dye fight, the leather weight fight, and most of all the finish fight I just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone. Great workmanship on this site!!
