Multitone Leather Dyeing

[nickhaprov]

Hi all, so I've looked around and tried to find some information on how to dye leather multiple colors but haven't really found much. I have read up on resist dyeing with antique, but what I was wanting to do was 3+ colors. Attached are pictures of what I am wanting to do. I have fiebings oil dyes (black, dk brown, saddle tan) and arcrylic resolene. I haven't purchased the antiques yet as I wasn't sure which colors I would need.

I'm guessing the steps would be apply resist for natural, allow to dry, paint black oil dye to desired areas, allow to dry, rub other areas with dark brown antique or apply brown dye? What would be the best way to go about doing this?

Any information or if someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Nick

It looks like the background was painted in with a brush, the lighter areas were resisted with something like super sheen or other finish, and the entire project was antiqued with a highlight stain or antique gel.
