I am planning to make and use some rubber stamps for my first serious attempt at Leatherwork. I have some scraps left over from a bag of remnants brought from a craft shop, they are already pre-dyed pieces.
I was initially thinking of using either dye or stain to use as the "stamp ink" but from what I understand the dye or stain will only take on veg tan leather. I am gathering that since the pieces are already dyed and probably sealed that I wont be able to get the dye or stain to stay permanently on the leather. My leatherwork experience so far extends to cutting up the pieces and sewing them together - the world of dyes, stain, finishes are something I am yet to experiment with and learn. Am I on the correct path here?
