Missvee, you are cracking me up!
MaryK, OMG, thank you (and everyone) for thinking of me. You make me laugh too. Sometimes it's hard to be delicate, but you are always so kind and diplomatic! BTW I hope your Very Important Job interview went well. Keep us posted!
Shannon, really this has been fun, and kept me from being lonely while I worked on it.
The bad news is my light is changing as the sun moves around the house and the camera batteries are dying from the work-out, lol! The top of this thread should read, "This post has 110 posts, and 100 of them are from clearlyclaire." You guys are such good sports to keep me company.
The good news is, the color is starting to look AWESOME. It's a rich, saturated hue, that's dark, but not on par with black. Here's how the third coat is shaping up. I think one more might do it and I will have plenty of dye, whew! This is the part where I start to get really excited! The leather is really thick like a baseball mitt. there is no way I could afford a bag of this quality new, so I am feeling really happy and blessed right now!!!
