The ammonium patina



I'd left my homemade bronze clay piece a few days in ammonium fumes. Definitely it was too long :o( the piece had gotten to black and just a little beautiful bluish showed up. 


With the rustic texture of the piece the play of black and blue looked good, but I wanted more blue and less black, so I sanded high points as much as I could and put piece back to fumes (just for half day). I like the end result. Black and blue and rustic texture, it really looks like out of excavation site :o)))

 What I need now... some cool ancient looking chain design :o))
