I use 0000 grade wire wool to polish back which will get into tiny gaps although with this one I did leave it very darks as I liked the contrast with the beads.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974728482917154566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-78527158827102734562015-07-30T09:05:39.260-04:002015-07-30T09:05:39.260-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974728482917154566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-10782889458667183122015-07-30T08:43:50.149-04:002015-07-30T08:43:50.149-04:00I love this bracelet design.I do macrame with fibr...I love this bracelet design.I do macrame with fibres so this method of using fine wire is intriguing. <br />I have a question about the patination process, I don't do it much as I really like the shine of bare metal. When you have beads on the finished piece do you dip the whole piece in LOS or do you brush it on only where needed.? Then when you polish it back to reveal the shine in some spots how do you get into the spacers between the beads.I use a polishing cloth and I don't think i could get into those tight spots esp without leaving black all over the beads. I'd love to hear your methods to do this. ThanksDeb Fortinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100894645677484244noreply@blogger.com
