craftgrrlThe other night, at dinner, I was inspired to create a "Broccoli of Life" pendant:
I am torn between feeling completely silly about this, and actually wearing it as a reminder to eat more healthfully. I'll try it tonight to see if I can stick with salad... :)
I'm also thinking about non-toxic ways to turn it green (it is solid raw copper). I plan to try the vinegar and salt method (http://www.chem.umn.edu/outreach/Card-SaltVinCopper.html) unless anyone here knows of a better way. Do you know of a good non-toxic way to create a beautiful verdigris?
