I surely thought that you were going to share rule #1 NEVER INHALE WHILE BLOWING BUBBLES! Thanks for sharing. Going to mix it up with the southwestern look. Never can tell, it may be a hit with accessories!
This shows you never have an original thought; I was literally thinking of when I was a kid and you would put ink in a tub of water and blow bubbles into it, place paper on it and make crazy patterns - how cool this would be for leather for funky designs. I love this technique and will definitely use this on some un-dyed veg !
That's a cool idea. If you had a cookie pan full of bubbles and touched the leather to it I think the bubble pattern would be more pronounced and have a different feel too without the splashes and drips added in.
This looks great! Something completely new to me. I haven’t had much success myself with Tokonole as a finish on the front of leather. I tried it on my own previous wallet with just natural veg tan leather and it never looked right to me even after a lot of use.
I would love to try this! The dye and water seems to stiffen the leather quite a bit. Would it be a good idea to condition the leather before adding a top coat? Would you add anything to the backside (if you used Tokonole on the front, it would probably not be a good idea to use it on the back as well). Also: Is there anything else besides Tokonole for the finish? Resolene? Tan Kote? Thanks for the videos!
You'll probably find the excess dye is what stiffens the piece so when it's buffed it will soften. Regarding the back side, depending on the tannery it may already be finished so don't always need to apply a finish. With conditioners leather is so porous you'll be able to apply it afterwards if you want 🙏
Here's the big question, is the old tshirt the one you wore the day before? Wearing a white shirt while dying anything would be a disaster for me, let alone bubble dying. I've gotta try this method though!
Thanks for your videos! I'm nowhere near ready to experiment with different dying techniques, but I am intrigued by using Tokenole as a 'finish' Can this product be used as a final finish? I tried it on a piece of crust and the finish was beautiful. Is there any reason NOT to use it as a finish?
Cost? It is probably one of the more expensive products. Certainly here in the U.K. Acrylic Resolene would be my preference, which is designed more for this use. But my rule of thumb is also “Use what you’ve got”. Resolene isn’t cheaper if you’ve already got plenty of Tokenole in your workshop I guess.
Please double and triple check your audio, to adjust the noise of hammer strikes, and artifacts in the background. I just spent 5 minutes verifying this, and it's your video that has a high pitched whine. You have amazing content that sometimes gets very difficult to engage with because of the audio.

I am incredibly pumped to try this out sometime
oo I really really want to try this! that bubbly look would be amazing on the cover of a book or a bag flap!
This looks really cool! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I would love to try this!

Wow. Very interesting technique. Thanks for sharing.
Have you tried using a glass burnisher for applying Tokenal?
Cash savvy minded question : can we use leather conditioner made of beeswax and neatsfoot oil instead of tokonole(120US$/bottle)?

Attempt one ended with me attempting to pour the bubbles out and dumped the solution all over my leather. At least it has a very unique design now😂
How does the tokonol stand up as a finish in the long run, if youve had an opportunity to test that, that is?
does this work with the regular fiebings leater dye as well? I can't seem source pro dye where I am.
This reminde me of some of the background, from the old Pink Floyd concerts at the UFO club.
The Black pro Dye is difficult to get hold of at the moment. No one seems to have much if any in stock. Any ideas why?
Appreciate your sharing.
How about using a glass burnisher ?

Just don't suck! That's what I would keep telling myself!! lol
Got a dawn add right before this started threw me off when the video started lol
Came out really pretty, but that mess isn't happening in my shop 🤣
Cool technique, but I would prefer something subtler. Perhaps just drips of dye.
❤👍
Final product looks like DRAGON SKIN.
Looks like a bloody mess... Literally... 🙈
👍👌♥️
