I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that uses two thin pieces of wood clamped together as a burnishing jig. Great tutorial.

[@baronleathercraft]

Fast and simple! I actually found 2 pieces of wood that are 1 by 2 and I am able to fit a hole belt in them. I use wood clamps. :) Thank you for the kind and inspiring comment.

I love the marbling effect..

[@baronleathercraft]

Me to! It is also fun to do. You are never to sure how it is going to look like.

[@raydendrakk7502]

[@baronleathercraft]

@@baronleathercraft thanks

[@Floyd7200]

Very nice work. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

[@baronleathercraft]

Thank you so much! I love to share How I make things!

[@soliverostavares]

Great work! Especially when it came to the marbling technique. The question that i have is did you use Red Leather Paint or Pro Dye?

[@baronleathercraft]

Thank you very much for the kind words! I used red pro dye. I first dyed the piece of leather completely with red pro dye as the background. I then let it dry completely to prevent bleeding with the black dye that I used to do the marbling. I left the leather on the surface of the shaving cream for 15 minutes. Then try to remove the shaving cream without smearing the dye as much as possible. Then let it dry as long as you can wait before totally cleaning up the leather. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything. Thank you!

im trying this but my pro dye keeps fizzling through the shaving cream to the pan bottom making it very difficult. big air pockets. when you swirl through it it doesnt so much mable as it almost rejects it

[@baronleathercraft]

What I do to avoid air bubbles is to hold the can 3 to 4 inches from the surface and spray in rows leaving no spaces between the rows. I then use a ruler or a flat piece of anything and rake across the shaving cream. make sure it is at least an inch high and flat. drop the ink in and swirl it around, when you put the leather on make it as flat as possible push down but not to hard. Make sure you push down evenly to where you feel all the leather is touching the leather. Wait 15 min and then take off the leather use the ruler to rake the cream off of the leather gently. It will want to smear so try to prevent that. Do some small test pieces. I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. :)

so it turned out decent. but still being a nuisance with the dye all sinking so deep. I solved it by putting more and mixing the pro dye with a bit of oil . it stays near the top of the foam better this way but the behavior of it is a bit different since there's more oil.

[@TSimms7]

thank you for the tips

[@baronleathercraft]

@@TSimms7 If I remember mine did not turn out to good at the beginning. How are you apply the dye to the shaving cream? I use an eye dropper. Try not to drop it from to far away. Do you have any dye that is not the pro dye. Give that a try if you do.

[@TSimms7]

@@baronleathercraft Hey man. totally didn't see the notification. I have acrylic paints now that are cool as shit using a thickened water technique. Havent tried on shaving cream yet. I was using pro dye only before using a small eye dropper . I tried dropping from very close so it wouldnt penetrate but the alcohol just chewed through the cream.
