craftgrrlDear everyone:
I'm going crazy! Like mad. The first issue is that I bought lead free solder for my pendants and earrings [definitely better for you] and the patina didn't act the same. So I finally kinda got a handle on it, but it's still giving me hell. It rubs off very easily, and it's leaving this iridescent sheen behind. I can't get rid of it & it makes everything look really dirty. Any help? Suggestions? Something? =] I used Novacan Super Brite Copper Patina & JAX Copper Darkener on the earrings below, if that helps. I'm pretty sure it's the JAX, but idk.
You can see the silver shining through from where the patina rubbed off. These were left overnight to sit. Arg.
Ha, this one I used the rubbing off thing to my advantage.
A better take on the honeycombs. I love the little bubbles.
Ska <3
Probably my favorite of the bunch.
