Pat Pleacher

Pat Pleacher (from Rineyville,Kentucky) makes leather!!!!!! Take some Ziller Ink and apply to Tyvek paper stock....(the white tough mailing envelopes or the stuff they wrap houses in now a days)......rub off and let dry. Depending on how you color or dye these you can come up with a variety of leather like looks.

Not to be stopped by just making plain leather look alikes, Pat needed colorful ones too. See the two toned ones in there? Midnight Blue and Wild Viola Violet -- the Sunflower Yellow and Sweet Grass green? Pat is the first to try this innovative technique with these "Inks"

I can tell Pat is a real experimenter.......on top a grained bonded leather look alike using the Bufalo Brown and a touch of the Soot Black for a combo effect .........but, on bottom - add some Northwind White to the mix -- which brings up the opacity and PRESTO it's a top grain cowhide ready to go. "Giddy yup little doggie!" .....oh I'm not talking about Pat :-))
