corkscrew Report post Posted November 27, 2018 Thanks, YinTx. The lady it went to said she cried when see saw it, so I guess I captured him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverForgeStudio Report post Posted November 27, 2018 Very nice- saved to my inspiration folder for sure- very nice indeed. Did you use antiquing over the dye? Interested in the Shading in your stippled area and border! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corkscrew Report post Posted November 27, 2018 SilverForgeStudio, I painted the dog with acrylics and then sealed the painted area with 3 coats of Super sheen. Then I used a water base antique gel in saddle tan over the whole piece. The numbers are dyed with green oil dye and the edge with a brown dye. Then a couple of coats of Tan-Kote over everything. Takes some time but worth it to get a nice finish. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverForgeStudio Report post Posted November 28, 2018 It does! thanks- I appreciate the carving as well- but its the finish and the color blends I am impressed with most as that fade is something I want to attempt! Thanks again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
