Before I knew about the neutral antique, I did a wash with the bronze on black. Turned out beautiful! I've played around with the neutral antique on a few projects and have been really impressed.
You said that the copper on brown "doesn't really work; doesn't really show off" but I disagree. I think the subtlety of the contrast really looks great and you can see when you lay it back down that the contrast changes with the angle of reflection. I think that lustrous, monochromatic look would look really great for the right project like shoulder straps. I think it comes down to "subverting expectations" lol. For something that you would expect to look flat when looked at straight ahead, seeing the relief of the stamping at an angle would be a great surprise.
Chuck i have a suggestion for a leather element. This one is mainly for those new to leather crafting. When is the best time to use antiques, sealers, top coates etc. We always hear about the different items but not when the best time to use them is.
I've been trying to find info on using mica powders with leather. More specifically glow in the dark and color shift powders. Is it just eye balling to taste or do you follow a recipe?
I recently tried the pewter paint in neutral antique. I wasn't able to get to a consistency that seemed to do much. My mixed antique was very thin. Which lead it to not setting into my tooling. Any suggestions on how to fix this situation going forward
Your narration is clear and easy to follow, but please consider slowing your entros they have a bit less of that relaxed confidence you show throughout the video. Your demonstrations provide a 'magic carpet' ride in mastery without even needing a mask or a pair of gloves. Thanks 👍.
chuck, i love your enthusiam and positive side, but I understand your quiet pain with the glitter❤

I've been using metallics & shimmers with neutral antique for some time now. It's a really nice touch, a shimmer white on green is AMAZING
That sounds beautiful!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply it is! I'll shoot some pics your way on facebook in a bit with two different versions of that combo
Thank you Chuck, for sharing your experience
The gold on green and silver on black are my two favorites. 👍🏻
I love the combinations with the green leather.

Hi there! Are you wanting something showing the correct order to use them on a project or what types of leathers to use these items on?
@WeaverLeatherSupply I was thinking the correct order of use. I am not sure on when and what order to use them for the best outcome.
Thank you Chuck.
Great video, Chuck! Some of those combinations don't really work for me, but some of them really pop!
Oooh! I have an idea for that copper on black! ❤
Instead of glitter try using mica powders that they use for resin. I've been using them for years and the results are awesome.

@@sethtaylor2911 I just eyeball, and test thoroughly before using on a project.
Cool options!!!!
I have Acrylic Paints for model painting here. Warhammer & the lot. Would that work as an additive for antique like the Angelus Paints?
ive used the citadel paints with antique and it works pretty good.
@@Pitguy777 I've got ArmyPainter here. But wonderful, thank you for the feedback!
@@kalamir93I've used Army Painter directly on leather and it's great. I'd imagine using it in antique would turn out well.

Have you ever used neutral antique and colour changing mica powders?
We have not but it seems like a cool possibility!
@weaverleathersupply do we know the top coat that he used in this video? Was it leather balm with atom wax?
Yes, it was the Leather Balm with Atom Wax!
The gold ratio has to be more paint to antique . Then you’ll get the gold sheen.
👍
What stamp is that?

ha, my wife says that glitter is the herpes of the craft world
Ha!
