I Can Barely Tear Myself Away

Oh, it's like Charlie Sheen in an opium sex den-- I even forgot to eat I was so into my copper. The only bad part is that a lot of the work is noisy (hammering, orbital sander) so I have to stop by about 7 or my family will kill me.

Torch coloring copper is fun! Fun, fun, fun! So far I've learned that if you don't like how the color came out, you can sand it away; a bowl of water is good to have to cool the copper quickly so that you can keep the colors you like; too much fire and it turns a yucky penny brown; when you quench it in water, it will knock back a little to the colors it was just before you quench it.

O.K., bye!
