Members spooky Posted October 31, 2012 Members Report Posted October 31, 2012 I'm curious as to what would be used to achieve the iridescent effect used on the stamps on these collars. I'm guessing you'd have to seal the leather after dyeing? Any ideas much appreciated? http://www.celtichound.co.uk/leather-buckle-collar-iridescent-dragonfly-2-inch.php Quote
Members Tina Posted October 31, 2012 Members Report Posted October 31, 2012 Hi, I use metalic paint on my creations and it looks just like in the link you have...You can shade and mix them as you want. All my metalic paints comes from Joanns ( http://www.joann.com/folkart-metallic-acrylic-paint-2-oz-many-colors-/prd2196/ ) and they work beautifully :-) One "trick" to make them work their best is to paint on black dye...

Members spooky Posted October 31, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Thank you - look forward to "playing". Do you seal the paint afterward? If so, what do you use? Edited October 31, 2012 by spooky Quote
Members Tina Posted October 31, 2012 Members Report Posted October 31, 2012 Yes I seal...Manny people might use Super sheene, I use Angelus acryllic sealer (cuz it comes in matte and satin among others). I most often also use an antiquing effect ontop but that's very optional, have great fun playing around :-) Quote
Members HellfireJack Posted October 31, 2012 Members Report Posted October 31, 2012 You could probably get that using Tandy's pro waterstains mixed with the Pearl, Gold and Silver additives. Quote
