Here’s a tip from @ceemdesign that she credits to her teacher @garyroejewelry
“Here’s a really helpful tip I learned from Gary Roe for when you want to only partially blacken a piece. Instead of dunking your whole piece in the oxidizer, take a toothpick and apply the oxidiser to precisely the areas you want to blacken. This will save you a lot of time in cleanup.”
Love this share—thank you both! 🙌 If you use a different technique to get a partial patina, we’d love to hear it! Send your tip to tips@metalsmithsociety.com 💌
