A little bit of Patina...

Pin It I have been experimenting with Patina finishes lately, and wanted to share some of my favorites with all of you.

The process takes quite a while to achieve the look that I am going for. Many layers of patina are painted on by hand, are left to dry, and painted on again and again to get the perfect shade and texture.

I have been pleased with my experimentations so far, and hope to continue to perfect the process as I learn from my mistakes! :-)

Here are a few of my pieces to date:
