Having put the rim on the Deco Dish yesterday; today I set myself the goal of applying a patina.
I love David Huang's burgundy red/brown and he has explained how he does it and has said it can be hard to learn and quite finicky.

And after 3 hours of working with scrap copper, I got a SPOT of it on one test piece and decided that I would be spending all day just learning how to do it and still not get it correct on the dish (see image below).
I really want to master this patina but I decided that this patina needs more practice time and today was not going to be that day so I moved on to some other patinas I was considering.
I decided to try a few other red or red/browns.. and came to like the red oxide with a solvent dye brown under coat. Open/Click the images to see a bigger version and sorry about the focus I realized afterwards my camera is acting up.
Here is the dish with the patina after it is applied
And after applying the Clear Guard Spray.
oh, the dish has spoken to me and it does not like the name Deco Dish so the name is being changed.
