I've got a craft show coming up next weekend, so I'm trying to get some inventory ready this week. I'm trying to cover every price point I can....key fobs, wallets, belts, purses, etc. Here is a pic of the sparrow wallet I'm tooling. I haven't had any experience with Cova colors or doing any colorwork. I usually just dye or use a stain. Any suggestions? I might just leave it natural and stain it. I'm probably going to use a nice goat for the inside liner instead of pig.

You might want to think about acrylic paints for the coloring. You don't have to use Cova dyes. I use regular acrylics and mix my own colors. I is a lot cheaper and just as good. I am attaching some old color flash samples and so forth to give you an idea on the old school colors. You might want to practice walking your beveling tool. It will give you a smoother more even look.

Hope this helps,

Storm
