I'm working on a ladies clutch using a nubuck . Experimenting, I came up with a wood grain pattern quite by accident and did the project what I thought was everything . I now realize i missed one piece and didn't write down the procedure , Ughhhh! Never again Ha Ha. I love the experiments .
I would love to see that! A wood grain pattern in leather sounds really interesting. If you ever figure out the procedure again please share some photos with us!
This video popped up on my feed and I haven't seen anything like it. I'm happy it had a click bait title, I learned something I didn't know. Great video Sailrite!
I've done a similar technique by dropping Fiebings Pro-Resist from a great height using a syringe, to leave splat effects on the leather, and then overdying to leave the splats their natural leather colour. Great fun (and quite messy) to do. Didn't know about the de-glazer, might try that for a future project to incorporate some different colour options. Thanks for the video, some really good ideas in there.
The deglazer really helped with getting more contrast. It also smoothed things out since products like Pro-Resist, leather sheen, and Resolene can build up and leave a texture. Removing the top coat with the deglazer made my samples nice and smooth again.
Good quality leather is scary to experiment with. but watching you do the experiments and seeing results i liked and was impressed with invigorates me to try some of these! Really love the idea of a “ watermelon” wallet with the green and black streaks outside with red insides with spotty “ seeds” inside.
Hopefully, seeing my experiment will help smooth out the learning curve for you, as it can be intimidating to risk ruining good leather. That watermelon idea sounds like so much fun! I think you could definitely pull it off with this technique.
the question of "did I create a new way to dye leather?" has a very easy answer. NO, OF COURSE NOT. these are ALL methods that have been done before and documented. so, in reality you were just making a "click bait" title for the sole purpose of getting people to click on your video.... THUMBS DOWN for that! shame on you. click bait stuff is one of the biggest douche bag moves there is.

The "meteorite" results were really impressive, and this is a pretty innovative technique. I'll definitely be trying that this weekend.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊

I’ve seen the striped version before but didn’t know how it was done. Thank you
Now you know! Make sure to send us some results if you try it out for yourself 👍
I'd be interested to see these techniques used with rubber art stamps.
That's a really good idea! Thanks for sharing
No clue if you know of it yet, but I've achieved really nice colour gradients by using a rag and wiping off most of the dye before applying.
Try Steel scrubber
Would be interesting to merge this with a batik approach
That would be cool! I assume you would inverse dye first, then do the batik method over that?
what is that white liquid?
It is called Leather Sheen: www.sailrite.com/Fiebings-Leather-Sheen-4-oz
