Patina 1

Learning the techniques and demos in class were cool, but actually starting it became cooler. I had a hard time executing my patinas to come out just a little at first to trying to make them bright as ever. The process takes up to ten to 24 hours, sometimes longer. I used several types of oxidation, fumes, and chemicals to make my patinas successful. I am still working on other techniques just to explore the methods and calculate timing with procedures.


This sample was executed with Vinegar and Salt

I placed this in a container and covered it with ground coffee. The smell mostly drew me to only sticking with using ground coffee, although I'd like to explore with another layering of covering to determine different effects with another element like flowers, or another texture.
