Dollyrkr Report post Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Hi there. Inspired by this jacket that's in the attached pic, I want to dip dye deerskin with that sort of effect. It's for a zodiac purse I'm making, so I want the leather to conjure the night sky. I have some light pinkish deerskin that I want to dip dye and most of what I read on here regarding dip dying it seems that you're dying veg-tan and thick leathers for belts and holsters and whatnot. And then a lot of you have issues with it bleeding, despite buffing it. Obviously I can't buff deerskin after I dye it, so - can i not do this? Will it bleed for sure? Of course I can't sell a purse that's going to stain anyone's anything... but I LOVE that effect. Can anyone advise me? Thanks so much!

Dollyrkr Report post Posted April 22, 2013 also, if dip-dying deerskin is not feasible, I presume that she's wearing lambskin in that picture? so, is that do-able, and can y'all advise on that? thanks so much... again, my main concern is for it not to bleed at all.

PutnamLeather Report post Posted April 23, 2013 I have some buckskin I wanted to dye, I was thinking of using an air brush and also air brush 50/50 res and water over that. I haven't tried it yet due to lack of air brush. Just an idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dollyrkr Report post Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks Putnam Leather but I can't be experimental as far as the bleeding is concerned since I can't sell a purse that's going to bleed dye. Can anyone answer? Pretty please? help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
