Finally did something I don't think I'll be laughed off the forum for if I share a pic. I'm completely self taught, as a leatherworker, pattern designer/maker and Illustrator user (for reprintable patterns.)
2/3oz leather and Tandy dyes. Intentional splotchiness for visual appeal, but the whole dye job would have been quicker, easier and very different in appearance if I had access to de-glazer. (Live in California, where all the best things are banned.)
