Hello
I wondered if anyone could enlighten me as to how I can apply a dark colouring to gold...? I only really have experience (if you can call it that!) with silver and use platinol or LOS but have just started having the odd thing gold plated and wondered what I could use to get a similar effect in recessed areas (handprints and the like) Did my usual googling but could only find a very short post about using iodine to stain gold... would this be right?
Any guidance much appreciated as always :)
Ta!
