I am a real bookworm, a part-time Author, and SCA Fan.
I started working leather because my brother wanted a special kind of bracers for a re-enactment. He asked me if I thought I could do it for him. I sais 'Why not? I can always try'...I haven't stopped tooling and making since...

I've tried to me the frog (the one with 2 parts and 3 straps) but I can't figure out how to assemble it :-( Maybe adding some construction notes on your future patterns would be good ? :-) Tanks again for your hard work!! -
Good to know. I guess that using a resist would help as well, because even with block dying, I haven't near getting such a clear result. I will try with the fiebing yellow and reduce it some, because I agre that the full strenght color looks a lot more like tan than yellow. Thank all for your good counsel!
-
I need your expertise! What color is this? (ok, I know it is yellow) but where can I get such a bright shade of yellow in dye? I have tried Fiebing, ecoflow, and even the new waterstains from Tandy, but they are all very...darker. My second question is: would I need to block dye with a Brown antique to get this effect? Thanks in advance!!
-
Thank you for the info Winterbear. I have visited turtle feathers website and ordered some Angélus paint, along with a pretty nifty dye pen! I can't wait for the order to arrive!!!!
-
Thanks everyone. This is a lot of help! I think I will try with Angélus acrylic since I can order it online. I'm from motréal Québec, and have no clue what Joanns is :-) I'll show you all the result I achieve, all thanks to you!
-
Oh wow! your work is awesome!!! This is exactly what I'm looking for!What kind of resist do you use? For the white color, do you just use acrylic?
-
Thanks for your help! I have been trying to find bone colored dye for a while now and all I've found was shoe dye. Did any of you ever tried show dye on a project? Did it come out well?
-
Hi everyone! I was wondering how I could get a bone color on leather? Color like the pictures show here. I have tried to make a mix with acrylic color and water for a base, but the leather comes kind of shiny and dye applied after the accrylic won't stay. Any one knows what I could use?Thanks!!
-
Oh very good! Thanks for all your help!
-
Wow, that's perfect! Can't believe I did not find it. I have been looking fot exactly that for a while...Guess I need to change my glasses, lol Thanks again!!

Hi All! I'm trying to make a hair effect on some carving. I saw a tutorial saying I would need to use a multi blade knife. Where can I find one? Tandy don't have any. Is there another tool I can use to do it? Thanks!
