agree, it’s pretty hideous as a large piece – but it could be turned into some pretty fabulous hats and headpiece with some thought about placement.

Still love it! 18 sq ft is not as much as it sounds. My leather jackets (not long) take at least 25-30 sq ft. So this 18 sg ft is a waistcoat, bag, 1/2 jacket, part dress at the most.

I don’t love it or hate it but I am just wondering why it was necessary to dye 18sqft of it?

I went on eBay to check this out and didn’t find a listing yet. I’m new here so no fair judging me yet but I’m imagining this made into some elbow length gloves to go with some of my winter coats. (And as an added bonus, the tie dye will serve as a camouflage to hide what’s sure to be imperfections in my first attempt at gloves. And good move on the donation to Sandy relief efforts!

I’m not sure why you’d even want to tie dye leather. Needless to say I’m not a fan but someone will love it. I have a friend who likes anything that’s in clown colors.

[...] I’m auctioning the leather on eBay with all proceeds donated to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts [...]

Hmmm. I don’t think it looks all that ugly at all! I think a simple bag would be cool and it would be plenty for that. I didn’t read all of the responses, so perhaps that was already suggested.

I have been following your blog for many years and finally I cannot resist the urge to comment. I too love the tie-dye leather. At the moment intense complex digital prints in body con styles are all the rage here in Australia. So I have made an image of two styles using your leather and wonder if I can paste it into this comment? Mmmh…please advise how I can share the image (small jpeg file)? Thx

I’m thinking the best solution for me is to sell it. That way one of you can make the woven bag or whatever. I think it is best to auction it, proceeds donated to the Red Cross.

Quin: I know you can’t tell from the photo but the original color didn’t discharge.

There is only 15 or so square feet of this. That is not very much, not enough to follow most of any of these suggestions. 15 sq ft is about one yard of 50″ fabric only there is waste because it’s a hide with areas you shouldn’t or can’t use, uneven edges etc.
