Dying Leather!

This was fun for something different!
I stole this humongous genuine piece of leather for 20 bucks!!

The only problem-
the color was called hot pepper....
so I went dye shopping.

I got this and dark brown.

My test areas-
black was too black
and too dull.
the bottom tip is 2 coats of dark brown
and further up , just one coat.


I didn't like any of them
and it would just be boring if I didn't try mixing them!

This is why I can't have nice nails :)
And this is the color I came up with, with 3/4 dark brown and 1/4 black

I like it :)

And wah-lah a huge, gorgeous leather hide!


And this is all just a very small part of the project
" redo a huge manly executors desk for Matthew"
more pictures coming when the long drawn out process is over!
