A brass butterfly from Vintaj with Ranger Ink's patinas - it was quick, easy and I love the results. You paint the patina on the metal, it dries quickly, sand off some of the paint and voila - old, grungy and beautiful!
A bead cap (posing for its picture on a toothpick) ...
A filigree...
The butterfly on the left, before sanding, right, after sanding...
The colours verdigris and rust...
A Buddha bead from TierraCast - the patina didn't grip the slick surface as well as the brass pieces but I like the effect.
A pretty bezel frame from
Accessories Susan with "reverse antiquing" - wouldn't it look nice with vintage text and a pink rose?
The working set up - toothpicks in styrofoam.
Some of the patinas and a clear extender / topcoat. The paint is very thin and detail painting didn't work, the effects were best when the colours were allowed to flow into each other. So now I need to get busy and make some jewelry!
