aging

I first used an antiquing patina on the outside of this sculpture.

For the inside, I brushed on cuperic sulfate. I had to brush on and wash off several times.

I also got a lot of whitish crystals. I used several abrasives to remove.


The last time, I used an ultrasonic cleaner and dish soap. Then, I brushed on more cuperic sulfate and a final rub with 3M abrasive cloth.






On this one, you can see some of the heat patina I achieved when pouring from the tin can.
