As a man thinketh in his heart; so is he. Proverbs 23:7

"Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. " -Philippians 4:4-9

Reactive Paint Finishes for Sculpture

This is the first light application of reactive solution on the bronze base layer. You can see the patina beginning to form. Some of it I can rub off but if I want to stop the reaction I can seal it however, it probably will change the color a bit.

This is the iron base test tile turning from two light coats of reactive solution. It will continue to rust ... changing to a shade of dark orange-rust. I like this a lot.

This is the first base coat of copper. I have not applied the reactive solution yet because i need to apply a second copper coat that needs to dry. Tomorrow, I will start the process to add a green-ish blue patina.

These may be used on clay pots for the garden....and sealed for outdoor use or even placed in a fountain (a bit more work to seal it). Way cool.
