COPPER & BRASS HEARTS PENDANT

Hello!

In this post I will share the process I followed to make 

the two Hearts Pendant Necklace!

• I hand cut with saw 2 hearts, 2 leaves and a small flower from a 0.5mm brass sheet and a 0.4mm copper sheet
• I soldered the parts together
• I rasped all edges and the whole piece with sandpaper to get it clean
• I naturally oxidized my piece with Ammonia and Salt

( This is the recipe for Natural Patina, here)

• After oxidation, I rasped with sandpaper the brass parts, leaving the blue patina on the copper heart
• I Coated with varnish and let it dry
• I decorated with 2 small Pearls and connected the copper chain

You can try many ideas for a copper & brass pendant, like balloons, flowers, a butterfly, a small house, a crown, a clock or whatever you want!!

ΦΥΣΙΚΗ ΟΞΕΙΔΩΣΗ - NATURAL PATINA

Hello!!

In this post I will share with you the

Eco Friendly Natural Patina Effect 

on Copper and Brass..

You will need:

• ¼ of a spoon baking Ammonia
• 1 spoon of water
• Salt
• A glass jar with a clasp
• A napkin
• A piece of cloth
• Sandpaper

Let's get started:

1.       Mix baking Ammonia and water in a small cup, spray it with your fingers on the napkin
2.       Put the napkin at the bottom of the jar
3.       Spray some water on your copper /brass piece, then some salt and put it on the napkin in the jar 
4.       Close the jar tight, leave some hours (or even over night) , until you like the patina effect
5.       Dry your copper/brass piece with cloth, clean with sandpaper where necessary
6.       Coat with varnish and let it dry

I oxidize all of my items in this way now, but here are 
the most representative ones..
