Oh it might be a while, I have loads of leather and other things I need to replace first, not to mention the repairs and custom orders I currently have stacked up 🤣
I'll be sure to post it when I do something, I have an order for some armour so might use it there somewhere once design is finalised.

Cripple the legs? 👀

Thank you, if I get stuck I will be sure to ask you. 🙂

Ah, that's really good to know.
The alcohol dyes feather out a lot so if you don't have a cut to stop it, it spreads.
I'm referring specifically to fiebings dye.
Not condusive to beautiful artwork like yours.
I think I might get some eco flo and start experimenting.
Thank you.

Do you use acrylics or alcohol dyes more? I ask because I use mostly alcohol but am thinking of using acrylics more, just wondered if you had a preference, and why?

Thanks, it was just what I had left over from another couple of projects and I needed the jars the dyes were in, so it made sense.

Wow! Totally worth it. It's beautiful 😍
I share your pain with regards to sewing, definitely not my favourite part.
It would speed it up considerably I imagine 🤣

How long did it take you? If you don't mind me asking.

Love this general overview of your work.

Sit your swivel blade at an angle so that the corner cuts in, you will get deeper cuts and be able to do tighter turns. Make sure your leather isn't too wet otherwise it will cut too deep or wrinkle and bunch.

Those colours work well together. Definitely worth keeping the silver if you can, it will really make the blues stand out wherever you use it. It sounds awesome just from those colour choices.
