Fran,

I think you would only have to mask if you're spraying the color on. Otherwise, just use a small brush along the edge, and dye with the lighter color first. If you wanted a really sharp line, you could do it in two stages, re-glazing the lighter color along the edge (again with a small brush) before dyeing the darker color. The glaze would act a little like a resist. If the leather is fairly smooth, the dye doesn't really bleed all that much.

If you are dyeing the same item two different colors in different areas,
do you use masking tape or something to protect the edges of one color
when you are doing another?  Like masking off the edges of a wall when
you paint the molding another color?
