The Star & Comet Bowl

7/29/2012

 
It truly was patina day. It has taken all day to do this. It was slow and there was quite a bit of waiting in between the layering of the colors, pondering, letting it dry and such. And I have one step left - I have to seal it which will not only protect the applied patina but it will darken the colors just a bit. 

I will start you off with the process pictures and the patina pictures.

Tomorrow is Patina Day....

7/29/2012

 
As many on Facebook are aware, I have been finishing the Star & Comet Bowl (it is on the to-do list). I was posting pictures there since my Mac was down for almost two weeks. 

The bowl is done and will be getting the patina applied tomorrow. I was planning on doing it last weekend but I went to the weaving convention in Long Beach on Saturday and then spent Sunday learning the weaving software I bought over a month ago but could not due to the computer glitch.

Anyway, tomorrow will be patina.. and I will be back to making semi-regular blog posts about my metal work. BetsyGene Manheimer was kind enough to tell me today that she missed them ;=)

And here is what I made today. TWO domed cuffs in sterling silver with a LOS patina. I made one for me and the other (with the 3 balls) is for Elisa of Scotland.

Mac Trouble

7/9/2012

 
My Mac blew its power supply two weeks ago and so I have taken it in for repair but of course the guy who I take it to was away on vacation so there went one week. I should have it back in a few days but in the mean time you can go to my Facebook page and see what I am working on.
