Thanks guys, The dye is really pretty easy to accomplish. Once you get it, its easy to repeat. -
Leatherman Case
Stitch Dex Holsters replied to Stitch Dex Holsters's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks Guys, Tramps....The dye pattern is made using a sponge, just dabbing around until you get the look you want. Then I blend everything using an airbrush. The base color is saddle tan and the darker is dark brown. The process works with other color combos too. -
For Christmas this year my brother got me a Leatherman Wave. This was very uncharacteristic for him and will be something I will always cherish. With that said, I love it, but the case left a lot to be desired. A simple nylon pouch, sooooooooo that had to go. I seen a YouTube video by Leodis Leather and got inspired, if you are new to leather craft you should check him out. His videos are great and he only asks for donations. I have paid for videos that weren't anywhere as informative. (I am not affiliated with him.....except for leaving a donation )Anyway here is what I ended up with.....As always Thanks for looking

Just beautiful! Thats all I can say....ART!

Thats true, I enjoy the design side of leather crafting. When I do the tooling its harder to get whats in my head out in the leather, but I guess thats true for most people. I got the laser to cut out patterns for my holsters. I wasn't even thinking about the engraving side of it. Now it has become a big part of my business and one of the things that sets me apart from the crowd.

Thanks guys! Sometimes I feel like I am cheating. I just put it in the laser and it cuts it out and engraves it. All i do is sew it up and make the patterns. I am trying to look at like an art of a different kind......all of these guys do beautiful work tooling leather...well I can't do that but, I can work in adobe AI
