Diluted water stain dyes water colored on to the raw tooled leather- then I'll follow up w serious super sheen blocking and antique gel saddle tan. Can't wait to see this!

Great discoveries are made by experiments .... keep it up and you will develop your own distinct style.

Can't wait to see the results. Sounds promising.

Your going to really like it. In my opinion solid colors take away from the leather aspect, where as letting some of the leather show thru adds to it being more than a painting. I was taught to leave the natural leather in the highlight parts and dilute the paint.
