Finishing a notebook

[Oscar B]

This will be a note book when done. Should I neat lac, and sun or what?

I have a bad habit of antiquing everything. My thoughts on this would be to Neat-Lac the burro and miner (a resist), then antique the rest of the picture. I would (again my favorite) use Fiebings Tan paste after the Neat-Lac has dried. But the sun tan method sounds good too.

Hi Oscar,

One thing I like to do when coloring something like this, is after the Neat Lac, mix some Tan Kote and paste antique, about 50/50 and put that on the way you would put on antique. As long as you have good coverage with the Neat Lac, the mixture will high light all your fine carving. It is a fool proof way of adding color.
