Raw Leather Show Through A Finish?

[Kulafarmer]

How do you get the color of raw leather to show through a finish?

IE

A strap with a stamped pattern, like a rope or border and letters, where the outlines show up the natural color and everything else is an antique or a dye,,,,

Paint a resist into it carefully? Or?

Im sure its simple or not, but cant find this info, most likely searching the wrong terms

That's beautiful. I have never gotten good result putting black dye on that lightly.

I have hand tremors, so anything that requires finesse like that is out of my league.

I dont think i can concentrate that well, got no valid excuse other than maybe some ADHD!

Dude, you do great work regardless!
