julie spoke of ways to add color to metal yesterday and i wanted to continue the conversation as the use of patina has become quite near and dear to me...
aside from los and salt & vinegar, i hadn't used anything in the way of patina...
but there are times and places that you need just that in your designs...
i love sculptor's grade patina -
the use of opaque and translucent... layering, buffing, adding powders for sheen...
i learned of it through shannon levart a.k.a. missficklemedia who has put together a wonderful tutorial....
as with anything, there is a learning curve, but shannon's tutorial is very informative and helps to explain the whole process.... this is truly one of the techniques that i am most grateful to have in my arsenal...
and you can see how addicting it is!
