I was really interested in dye ink, but Michael's didn't have dye ink in the color that I needed, and I didn't want to go online to buy it. Pigmented ink sits on top of the surface. Something to note is that this is PIGMENTED ink. This is what I ended up using to cover the white spots. Since paint was not working out for me, I tried ink. Even though I was able to get the color match, it still looked like a painted spot when applied. Using a mix of the Folk Art acrylic with the Angeuls paints in light blue and the neutral to thin it all out, I was able to make a color that matched my handbag very well. I was even able to mix it with the Angelus leather paints, even though I'm not sure that it is recommended. It adhered surprisingly well to the leather. If you want to make your colors lighter (more pastel), buy the white paint.

Mixing the neutral with the blue resulted in the same color intensity, it was just a thinner paint. I had purchased it thinking that it would make the color lighter, as in, it would make the blue a more pastel blue. One thing to note, the "Neutral" color is actually colorless and it makes the color thinner. Like I said earlier, it didn't work for me because I was trying to blend the faded spots on my purse, but this left a paint spot. The paint is favored by those painting their leather sneakers, so I thought I'd give it a try on my handbag. I tried scrubbing the mark to try to remove it. (After my application of the oil and the cleaner, the ink mark on the shoulder strap remained, even though it was lighter. Something I learned from experience: do NOT use a toothbrush to scrub either the oil or the cleaner into the leather. One thing I learned from my research is that saddle soaps should not be used-they were fine for the 1800's, but the technology for both tanning the leather and for cleaning leather has much improved since then. For other leather cleaner options, however, I encourage you look at, or, if you are set on using only purse cleaning products, cleaners and conditioners.

I was happy with the Leatherique, and in fact, I'm bringing it out again to clean the purse before I store the purse for the fall. That's why I focused on auto leather, rather than say, shoe leather, or saddle leather, although there are cleaning products targeted for these markets, too. The people that shared this fanaticism about getting their leather *perfect* were the guys on the auto restoration blogs. I can get a little fanatical when it comes to cleaning. Purchased at, but available in other automotive detailing outlets. Thai noodles with chicken and peanut sauce:Īchievement unlocked!

Teashell Times is a blank page at the moment, but I plan to start updating it within the next couple of weeks. And so, even though I am closing the 2 by 15 blog, I am starting up a new one: Teashell Times ( ). They have also encouraged me to keep blogging. I am indebted to those readers and their comments: they encouraged me to keep this blog going, even as I was losing interest. It also developed a regular readership, which surprised me. It may have gotten a little neglected over the course of the year, but the blog never languished or died. I started the blog posting twice a week, and then ended it posting about once every two weeks.
