Hey guys! I have a question regarding black leather... my boyfriend works in a leather supply store, and has been giving me little scraps to work with lately. I made a few wallets/coin purses out of them, but what I REALLY want to do is paint designs on them. I've seen on etsy a few sellers with black leather and drawings "etched" into them, and the boyfriend claims this is impossible on the type of leather I have. I'm wondering what I could use, that would actually work, to paint, ink, or whatever else, White drawings on black leather. I was going to try acrylic or oils and see how well it would come up, but then i'm worried that it'll perhaps peel? Any tips or suggestions? :)
