Hi there,

Have you ever seen something like this? When I saw it I though that it is made by dipping leather into into a water-dye substance. Author of this technique disclaimes that. What do you think? I have few other hypothesis about how to do that. I need to do some tests with other types of dyes.

Hi arcrue

That looks somewhat like some videos I've seen on a process called marbling, try searching here or youtube for marbling or marbled leather.

Wow. Pretty nice. What an amazing technique.

I've attached a photo from that link here for all to see (links sometimes get disconnected).

Corter leather has a video on a tie dye wallet . Using water and oil dye . I have tried it and it does work, but it has a steep learning curve to get it right. I have done it three times and have adjusted the ratio of water to dye and still need to keep adjusting the dye content. It uses a boat load of dye I don't know why the video calls it tie dye , it definitely is a marble effect..

Are you using the water thickener Carrageenan and painting the leather with Alum before starting. That seems to be the best way so i understand

I just followed the video using water and Fiebing pro oil dye. But thanks for the info, I will have to try it out and see what happens.

mdawsonthank you! I didn't know the term.

rleather: I knew that before. I tried that and I agree that learning curve is like you said. I know that the author (He calls himself author of this technique...) doesn't use oil dye, but alcohol or acrilic. I know his supplier.

There is my first result with alcohol dye...

 

Guys thanks for answers. I see that this is known technique if you know sources :)
