Dale Report post Posted February 20, 2007 There was a discussion about antique recently and I thought I would post the notebook I just finished. It's colored with several (4 or 5) different antique colors and some acrylic for the lightest areas. I thought I'd try it this way to see how the color holds up to wear as compared to acrylic.

The different antique colors you used, were they the antique stains? The only antique I have ever used was the paste and I can't imagine you doing this with those. I like the color and would like to know how you did it. Waiting to see how the other project looks when it is finished. Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiting to see how the other project looks when it is finished. Clay ummm...what other project? Yes. All stains on this one including Leather Glow and Hi-Liter. Started with Leather Glow over the whole notebook. Added Hi-Liter over the leaves and the border...didn't really remove much . Add black over the wolf (not too heavy over the head) and remove it in several places like the tail, the head and the lower part of the body. Then, I think, was mahogany and/or medium brown. Much of that was done with a brush and not really removed. Then I mixed a light acrylic for highlights and decided to add it to the background area as well -- just to separate it from the rest of the notebook.
