I am in Brazil, I live in Ribeirão Preto, in the state, sao paulo

Muito obrigado! I thought that you might be from Brazil. Your work is great! So great that I would like to ask a favor. Could you tell us your first name? Poderia dizer-nos o seu primeiro nome? Your site name is not as personal as your real name. The guys are right! Your hand stitching is to be envied! Seu nome do site não é tão pessoal como seu nome real. Os caras estão certos! Seu costura a mão é para ser invejado!

Merry Christmas and welcome to the site. Feliz Natal e boas-vindas ao site.

Pour me a Caipirinha and have a Happy New Year! Deitar-me uma caipirinha e ter um Feliz Ano Novo!

Really top notch work. Nice replication of the C. Hape's work. The flow is great to the semi-trained eye (me), of course.

Happy Holidays

I have been told by those around me that I do good work. But when I see something like this.....I am awestruck!!! You have set the bar very high. It's funny that when people look at this executive bag, they won't even realize that the hand stitching is probably the most difficult part to make look that clean. YOU ARE a sewing machine because you fooled the experts!! Keep it up!!

That is trully great work, I love

to see hand stitching work that people cant see is hand stitched. Man is the

greatest and most versatile machine I say.

I will try and answer your

question. Aniline dye and here I thing that you mean, that you used spirit dye.

Spirit dye is designed to be soaked in to the material so that it is colored all

the way thru leather. The problem using it like you did, is that it will run in

to areas were you don’t want it.

If I should give you any advice

is that you try and use a generous amount of neetfootsoil then ably antique

stain to the areas with a brush if you are really fanatical about perfection.

You can also rub the stain in with a cloth on the entire area and use a clean

damp cloth to remove the stain on the high points. This will give a dry brush

effect.

But do try both methods and some

scrap before you play around on a masterpiece like that.
