newbie question

[dustin29]

I just finished tooling a celtic pattern on a wallet . I was wondering if I could paint the celtic weave with a Eco Flo cova color paint and then still dye it with a tan gel antique? Is this ok to do? If not how would I go about doing this the right way?

Dustin - I have done that a few times. If you want to maintain the original Cova colors be sure to put a resist over them first.

I did use one coat of tan-kote over the painted parts, but didn't get the antique removed quick enough... the petals where white. I think it ended up a happy accident with the yellow.

Dustin,

I did that on this small notebook. I had painted the flowers white, then thought the white was too harsh. So I put some resist over them and then some antique. I like the way it came out.
