Picnic

Spent all day finishing up the desk–applying the patina and waxing the finish. Finally got it set up in the Kemper Gallery. Here it is!

More Patina

I've got some pictures for you, my lovelies. I've put patina on one of the bronze end pieces of the Morton Desk. Because that's all we had of the patina stuff, sadly. So I'm going to be a little late to the gallery opening, but fashionably late. About a pint comes in tomorrow, and I'm worried that it won't be enough, but I guess I'll just have to make do. (You can see the original bronze piece on the right, all speckled with black because the patina mixture is in a spray bottle, but the difference between the two is amazing.)



Check out the light burnishing I put on the edges with a brillo pad. It really adds a lot.



Anyway, I should get the other piece done and both waxed by early afternoon, so I'll take my camera and get a few snaps of it in the gallery.

Very Tempting...

Took a nice, long break from blogging over the holiday (as is pretty obvious), but now I'm back and ready to post! Easing in, though, with just a simple link:

How much do I want to apply for this job?
