Julia is using a simple brain and smoke tan to craft a home made buckskin skirt. The process could get a little messy but stick around and things get beautiful by the end.

Brain tanning is an ancient but still practical technology, given that buckskin is such an amazing material and modern tanning techniques use pretty harsh chemicals. The basic materials are the hide, brain, wood ash and wood smoke. You can definitely do this at home, especially if you live in an apartment, and if you do please send pics or videos!
