Idea Fishing!

[fabunobo.livejournal.com]

I thought I’d fish for some ideas from all you crafty peeps. I have a metal sunburst that I have painted with gold metallic paint. It looks great. However, it’s a bit “too perfect” and I want to rough it up or weather it a bit. I saw some people on tv do this to furniture by beating it with a chain … which turned out great but which would probably destroy my fragile sunburst!

Has anyone had good luck with other techniques?
