Here is a patina tip from @downtoearthjewelryny - “I use a warm bath of liver of sulfur to patina my copper pieces. Prior to the patina I polish and clean each piece to enhance the patina process.

I use a pampered chef can strainer to dunk the pieces in the bath. It is plastic so it is safe to use in the liver of sulfur.

I repeatedly dip until I get the patina color I want. Then it’s off to the tumbler for a tumble with Hone and Highlight.” Thank you so much for sharing with us!!! We appreciate it!!
