You should look at Bernadette banner video she making the dress.

[@impossibleagent3663]

Wow that's so beautiful!! You could combine with Bernadette Banner! She's making the dress!

[@Sunsetluver1]

Bernadette is going to make this piece too! It’d be awesome is these two could get together.

[@bananaslugdragon5764]

My thoughts exactly!

[@grandmasmagic3858]

I had the same thought as you..I'm looking forward to seeing what Bernadette does but this ⬆this was just WoW!!

[@KittyHannah]

Yes yes yes!

[@poetdrowned]

I heard “dyeing on the inside” as “dying on the inside” and I was like, “nooo don’t be sad! It looks great!”

[@Isa-tn7ex]

That was so funny!! That she caught herself 😂 it made me laugh out loud for ten minutes and I don’t know why

[@kieraoona]

to remove the metallic shine from the leather dye, it takes a few passes, but once it's dry, you need to buff or gently rub with a piece of sheep shearling cut offs or a really soft cloth, to rub off the shine for the blue to show, then do a second coat of the color, buff again, then seal it in with a wax coating - I hope this helps you for your next project. I think the polish removed the shine as well which also works in some ways to even out the color

[@HazarielAtelier]

thanks for the advice!

[@TrappedinSLC]

Yeah, it’s just excess dye on the surface of the leather - the purple-metallic effect is just from some of the pigments in the dye. In fountain pen ink that effect is what gives you inks that ‘sheen’ - where they look different and kind of metallic when you look at the paper from the right angles with the right lighting?

[@HazarielAtelier]

@@TrappedinSLC ah yes indeed it looks very similar!

[@mattphipps1368]

@@HazarielAtelier The metallic shine you saw when the dye dried happens frequently and it is called bronzing. Bronzing is a result of excess "pigment" on the surface and to correct it all you need to do is buff it off with a soft, lint free cloth or sheep wool. As you discovered, it may take a while to get your dye color to even out. And as a general rule when you dye leather you want the leather dry - not wet. The water will thin out the dye and your color may come out blotchy and uneven. Otherwise you did a fantastic job.

[@TheCyberwolfe]

I'm impressed with how well this came together from someone new to leather working - well done! Now for the tips: as you mentioned, leather dries out in different ways in different parts of the leather. When using Fiebing's Pro dye, I've had good results by rubbing some Neatsfoot Oil into the leather the day before I dye it. This evens out the moisture content, and the oil assists with dye penetration. That balm that you rubbed in after did some of the same thing, but it works better to do that before the dye.

[@davidshorb7453]

firstly, as a leather crafter searching for ideas i came across your channel. this is a indeed beautiful piece. your attention to detail is remarkable. the "bronzing" you experienced as your dye dried is due to excess pigment being left on the surface of the leather. it is common with blues and black. but as you discovered, the remedy is lots of buffing. it can be mitigated by using multiple light coats allowing adequate dry time between (for gray to black ranges, I tend to use a vinegaroon - a fine steal wool dissolved in vinegar over a week or so - as its a chemical reaction turning the leather black and not a dye) all that aside i will be looking for the completion of this costume that's sure to be stunning

[@lilbluemandowatchesstuff9612]

I saw this before work this morning, internally screamed in joy, liked it and was watching while I made dinner. I want to raid my leather stash to see if I have enough to do this. I am legit dancing like a dork because I have been wanting to get back into the craft. LET'S DO THIS

[@HazarielAtelier]

Glad to hear it! Let's go crafting!

[@Hanarchyreigns]

"I have read the books and it is a lot of words." Big mood, Ariel. Big mood.

[@daughterotmhsnatchingsouls7783]

Absolutely FABULOUS!!! Bravo! Very well done! YES!!! Pattern, Please!

[@susiecarson]

That is amazing! I don’t think I will ever have the patience to work with leather, but it was still fun to watch. Moraine definitely has the best costumes in the show, and you nailed it.

[@HazarielAtelier]

Thank you so much!

[@moinelle]

I haven't seen The Wheel of Time, and I don't know much about sewing, but it's very impressive. The result is beautiful wow

Thank you! 😊

[@blues998050]

Im so glad YT recommended this video! I love it! ❤️

[@HazarielAtelier]

Welcome!!

[@cassicraft]

My local craft store (Spotlight Australia) had Easter sales and I purchased my first sewing machine! Watching your videos has helped motivate me and eased the anxiety of the whole sewing/crafting creating process! I love how your videos are not a step by step but rather your honest experience creating a costume you really wanted to make!

[@bogwife7942]

I used to do leatherwork as a kid. this really takes me back. i love your improvised pounding slab/stamps lol. its really cool to see you working with what you have. there's nothing that annoys me more than seeing people try to stamp dry leather. for someone who doesn't do leatherwork often this is stupidly impressive. actually, it would still be stupidly impressive even if you were a professional leatherworker

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Your attention to detail is incredible. Beautiful

[@wpontius4355]

Listening to your lovely French accent and watching you craft beautiful leather work is magical.

[@bush_toad]

I love your pronunciation so much, the style of the video, and I'm completely crazy about your closet of thread and beads, it's amazing. But what you did here is incredible, I can imagine how much work is here, how much effort and time. Working with leather is very harsh.

This the most amazing recreation of this piece of clothing I have ever seen. People may call Bernadette their queen (and her fabric version is very beautiful indeed), but to be frank: your armor is much, much better. The attention to detail, the fit, all the little indentations, the dying of the leather, the beading! Shame on the algorythm, you should be the number one result on the search page. Thank you for including your struggle with the blue paint. I would have cried my eyed out, but you stayed strong and found a solution for a dire situation in the creation process. This gives me a lot of hope for my projects. Thank you very much.
