I'm having one of those 'I'm awake and this is an achievement' mornings.<br /><br />I tested out the process of patinating copper by using crushed salt and vinegar potato chips and a bit of white vinegar the other day. It worked out rather nicely, I thought, although honestly I think it might be simpler to just soak the piece in a salt/vinegar solution next time and let it air dry- I'm going to have to make another one to compare. For now: <span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://camwyn.dreamwidth.org/1181868.html#cutid1">it's a ring.</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />Quick question, btw- does the alt text help at all? I don't know if I'm putting it in the right field for people who use reader software or not.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=camwyn&ditemid=1181868" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-12-21:1161825:1171896 2018-03-08T15:52:48Z 2018-03-08T15:52:48Z public 2 And a ring I finished last night.<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://camwyn.dreamwidth.org/1171896.html#cutid1">Word of advice: if the pattern says to use 3 millimeter beads and 22-gauge square wire, don't try making it 'just as practice' until you actually have those sizes.</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=camwyn&ditemid=1171896" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
