benlilly1 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Raised letter with raised corners and carved design. It's in a shadowbox type frame so you'll see dimension. Now it's dye time...what to use? Any suggestions? I cringe when I think of colors so it might get earth tones. Just not sure because when it's dyed, it's final!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antwene Report post Posted August 26, 2013 Wow great ! My suggestion is : the big W and the color in black, use block out or super shine in multiple layer on the vine pattern (and on the black) et use a Hi-lite color like briar Brown or fudge on every thing.

sherlockian100 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 Very nice, what a great wedding gift. I'll leave the dyeing to you. Dyeing that far into a project, scares the bejeezers out of me everytime. The thought of something not going right after all that work. Whew....I always cringe. Good luck, your friends will love it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benlilly1 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks everyone!! Most important to me is that I want it to be recognizable as leather. So I'll probably go light with accent color. I'll post a finished photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lavendara Report post Posted August 28, 2013 That is beautiful! It will be a very lovely wedding gift. I agree with not adding colors. The earth tones would look wonderful with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humperdingle Report post Posted August 28, 2013 I'd keep it as natural as possible. As the wedding matures, so will the beautiful colours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
