Thanks RosiArt!! Frisket is the word I was looking for.

I tested the red waterstain a while back to see how well it would be resisted, but now that I think about it, the resist I tested it with was Fiebing's Leather Balm with Atom Wax. I threw the stuff away though - I was sick of it making all my colors bleed. What good is it if it lifts the underlying colors and bleeds all over my thread, etc!!?!

Particle, Did I understand you used the Fiebing's leather balm as a resist? I don't think it's use is for that. That's more of a finishing wax. Correct me if I misunderstood. I still think the red turned out great though.

Yes, and no. On the red journal cover in this thread - that was resisted with 50/50 water & Fiebing's Resolene. When I initially tested the Tandy Pro Waterstain Red with a resist, it was on a scrap piece of leather with a drop of the leather balm. I got the idea to try that by looking at the photos on another leather worker's Facebook page photos - in one of the photos I could see what looked like a bottle of leather balm. He brushed it on his artwork, then dyed his piece. It seemed to work really well for him, but he's found a method I haven't quite figured out yet.

My gosh your work is AMAZING!!

Beautiful art and leatherwork :You_Rock_Emoticon:

I do see what you mean about the difference in how leather from different sources take stains differently.

I bet it varies slightly from hide to hide as well from the same supplier. Have a big enough piece to finish an entire project or your @#^$ed....you know :)
