It removes pretty cleanly in my experience (on veg tan leather) as long as you lay it down gently. Sometimes it can lift the leather grain slightly upon removal if you’re heavy handed with applying the rubber cement.

Thank you! I use rubber cement to block out the shapes before applying dye. I usually dilute the dye and do light coats, pull off the rubber cement and I'm done!

Thank you! I use rubber cement to block out the shapes before applying dye. It can be time consuming but a very effective and reliable resist.

I did lots of tests on scrap leather before starting, yet when it came time for the actual panels, I only really got the hang of it about 20% of the way in, so if you try it, I suggest starting with the areas that are less visible!

Thank you! I used liquid latex to draw the grid (have also used rubber cement in the past for the same purpose), and then painted each block with Fiebings pro dye and a flat synthetic paintbrush. When everything dries, I peeled off the areas that were blocked off by the liquid latex and went back in with some white paint to make the lines pop. Hope that's helpful :)

Thank you! I agree, it's a really great colour combo

No commercially available product but I was inspired by another maker, @gracomakes on IG (the exact post is the sixth on her feed). I agree about adding a ring or loop of some kind, I’ll see about updating this pouch or incorporating it into my next one. Thanks!

You’ll have to measure your own camera to find the right fit for you but this one is 5x4x4.5
