jessmead Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm new to leathercraft and just started practicing tooling. My question is; how do I dye the leather to get the effect in the photo below? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

artycpt Report post Posted October 10, 2013 I created a similar affect my dry brushing and layering the dye. first overall dye of the light color, then taking a rag I put some dye on it and rubbed most of the dye off on a piece of scrap. From there I feathered the nearly dry rag from the edges to the middle. Add more dye as needed so that the rag remains with just enough dye to get the affect you want. I then took the lighter dye color again and used the dry brushing with a rag technique to blend the edges where the lighter and darker met. Airbrush is a lot quicker but I was happy with hte results.
