Blackening silver

I tried the egg method and failed miserably, so now I use platinaol....wow is it good, just make sure you use all the precautions to use it....it has melted my brushes!! I also use heat as a way ti create a nice patina, especially effective if used with flux.....now if only I can work the photo thingy I will post an example!...xc


ok so that did not work, have a look at the Life is peachy on my blog, but only if you can be bothered...lolxxxc

now if only I can work the photo thingy I will post an example!

I find the best way to attach a photo is by using the paperclip. If you have your photo saved on your pc (try to change it to a low resolution if possible). Click on the paperclip icon on the toolbar (on the 'post' box) then find and upload your photo from your pc. Click on the paperclip again and you can 'manage' where you put your image. Hope this helps... I've never really got to grips with links to picture hosting sites!
