coop Report post Posted March 11, 2014 I have used antique dyes and been successful at creating nice vintage/antique looks. Anyone have any tips on how I can get the effects in this photo? Thanks for any help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeSnuffie Report post Posted March 11, 2014 Sponge is my guess as well but it almost looks like there might have been a white paint applied as well. Maybe it's just because of the dark colors used. Whatever they did, it's beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever they did, it's beautiful. I am working on a celtic guitar strap for a local music store, I think I will try to get an effect similar to that. Reduce some white Angelus acrylic and airbrush on then sponge the rest on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
