Hello and thank you for watching! I started my channel on July 8 2022 and I am very excited about having a TH-cam channel! In this video I pointed out that I prefer to use water based dyes over oil base dyes for my color blending projects. This only applies to the darker colors. The lighter colors I use oil base dyes although water base dyes will work just fine. Enjoy!
Definitely a cool technique!! I'm brand new to leather craft and the more I find channels such as yours, the more I learn and all the different things you can do with leather. I've made simple leather Feather keychains and even trying to learn how to make more 3 Dimensional projects (made a Shark's Tooth for My Nephew who's interested in the Megalodon and He Loved it) The finishing of the leather is definitely interesting with all the different techniques. I'm slowly getting together enough materials to actually attempt credit card holders as gifts for My Family and finally broke down and bought a stitching pony. Anyway, I'm babbling on. Thank You for Your Time and Help with learning something new and unique in the leather craft, you certainly make it more interesting!! Sincerely, J Q
Babble away! I totally relate to your enjoyment! :) It sounds like you already have some original ideas. When it comes time to buy some stitching chisels get some nice ones, it will make it a lot easier and much less of a struggle. I have learned so much from youtube, it is a great place to gather technique and knowledge. This was a fantastic comment. It is really about the joy of crafting. Enjoy! Thank you for the kind words. :)
I still have the bag and so far it has not changed much so far. I do agree that dye does shift color as it ages. I have had to retake images for some items I have on etsy do to the fact that the color changed over time and the images no longer were a good representation of the craft. Thank you for the comment.
Evet. İsteğiniz için teşekkür ederiz. Bunu nasıl yapacağımı öğreneceğim. Bu yapmaya çalışmak istediğim bir şeydi ve sen bana ihtiyacım olan gücü verdin. Teşekkür ederim. Aslında bunu bu youtube videosunda yapacağım. Bittiğinde size haber vereceğim ve eğer isterseniz işe yarayıp yaramadığını bana söyleyebilirsiniz.
Thanks for the video enjoyed it and the outcome. Seeing how in this video you used the first two dyes as a pro and then switched to the water base. Why did you not use water base on the first two colors? All my dyes are pro but I was wondering if you would recommend using all water base instead? I have to order some and wanted to get your insight.
Thank you for the question. I think I used what I had as far as color is concerned but I have noticed a difference in using pro and water based dyes. What I noticed is that the pro dye will have more of an even coat and the water based dyes will not be as even as far as spreading out to one tone. For this reason I like to use the water based dyes for when I am going for a rustic almost like a leather smokers chair. It has the ability to create an old rustic appeal. You can achieve this look with pro dye as well but the contrast of the tone will not be as obvious. If you are looking to create an even tone then go with pro, if you want an uneven tone I use the water base. When it comes down to it both dyes can be used for this effect. I hope this helps. Thank you. :)
@@baronleathercraft Thanks for the super fast reply. I stumbled upon you through the laser. I have a 10W and I am playing around with using leather I am new to leather though I have had supplies sitting for years. I have found if I am just using a one-color dye that if I dye first then I put a top coat on then laser I do not have any discoloring it wipes off with water easily. But that would not work with your toning in this video. Thanks again i am watching many of your videos.
@@rblues4u Leather and lasers go well together. I think it engraves very well and using the laser to cur out some projects is a great way to save time and get a perfect cut. Thanks again!
@@skadimons9912 Doh! hehe, oh. :) Yes, I used tan-kote but I also like using Bee Natural RTC resist. The RTC gives it more of a shine. Thank you for the question.

Really great to watch a craftsman show his skills. I’ve learnt a lot from your techniques. Thank you. I’ll keep watching - Dave from Dubai 👍👍
Thank you Dave! Love to share. I am always watching craftsmen on youtube for the same reason. :)
Wow, that turned out fantastic!
Thank you very much! As you see it is easy, just make sure the rag is not to wet and apply different levels of pressure to create different tones. :)
@@baronleathercraft started playing with that. Just made my first "guitar" burst the other day. Love the way it came out.
@@robertk-qn6mg Awesome! Guitar burst? I play drums that is why I am asking. Did you use this technique on a wood guitar or are we talking leather?
@@baronleathercraft no, that's just the way I used to describe how the dying looks.
@@robertk-qn6mg That's what I figured. I know exactly what you mean now. :)
Definitely a cool technique!!

Can’t wait to try this technique. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I love how it comes out. Just make sure there is not to much dye on the towel. You can always add more but it is hard to take it away. :)
Thank you for this fantastic demonstration...appreciate you!
Much Appreciated!
Beee-Yoooo-Teeee-Foool.
Well thank you very much! Plus, it is an easy technique. Enjoy!
Really curious how this technique ages over time. I once dyed a bag a light green-blue, very diluted, and 5 years later it's pretty much all brown.
I still have the bag and so far it has not changed much so far. I do agree that dye does shift color as it ages. I have had to retake images for some items I have on etsy do to the fact that the color changed over time and the images no longer were a good representation of the craft. Thank you for the comment.
È davvero magnifico il risultato che hai ottenuto da questa tecnica, complimenti! Mi piace tantissimo, grazie
¡Gracias! A mí también me encanta esta técnica, por eso quería compartirla.
Teknikleriniz mükemmel rica etsem videolarınızı hazırlarken Türkçe alt yazılı hazırlar mısınız teşekkür ederim

Sanırım nasıl yapacağımı buldum. Çalışıp çalışmadığına bakabilir misin? Teşekkür ederim!
Çok çok teşekkür ederim emeklerinize sağlık harika ve yararlı bir video olmuş bu tekniği ilk fırsatta uygulayacağım 👍

Great briefcase. Did you seal the leather after dyeing?
Thank you very much ! no, actually it is still on etsy. One day. :)
@@baronleathercraft I'm asking did you seal the dye?

@@baronleathercraft thank you
Class. but my opinion is that this is not for everyone.
Thank you. :) The video is for anyone who is interested. It is fun to share techniques.
