The Sugar Lady Report post Posted October 15, 2012 More mottled dying. I like using this technique for leather and horsehair cuffs. My goal is to be able to create different colors to be able to mimic horse's coat colors. You know, bring a little more of the horse into the the design of the pieces, so it really does get a feel of the horse who's hair they're making a keepsake from. Plus...I just like the colors and the randomness of the patterns in the dye, but i'm easily distracted by color....and don't get me started on the leaves changing. I drive hubby nuts bringing leaves into the house because I thought the colors were neat.....did I mention he's OCD with the whole cleaning thing. I drive him crazy. In this case, my customer has two horses, one is a dappled buckskin, and the other a nice red sorrel color. She saw a few of my "patina finish" cuffs (as some of my friends and I have been calling them.) and she wanted something to combine both their colors. You can see the buckskin and sorrel better in person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
