Playing with Patina Ink


Last week, I bought a set of opaque inks specially formulated by Ranger which will adhere to metal. They come in a set of three colours which are verdigris, moss and jade.

I found some antique brass filigree butterfly charms and started exploring with the paint. I blended in the three colours, starting with moss, jade then verdigris. And I love the blending effects! It is fast drying with a satin finish.
I also like the fact that it has no acids and UV safe.
Don't worry about the paint dropping off. They create beautiful and durable patina effects.
Fun in Progress 
After painted the butterflies, I searched for more things that I can paint on. It was so fun. And I found some lucky charms tags, butterfly charms, filigree pieces and a pair of lock and keys.
