final step completed

it's all in the details... 


and what a difference this wax makes - 


shannon discusses the sealing phase in her patina tutorial and promotes a very specific wax... i understand why now... in articles i had previously read, minwax had been used... this is world's apart... 


my indigo isn't as vibrant as shannon's, so i know that i have lots to learn... but i am very happy with my first attempts at it on the bracelet... and it may turn into the first non-earring finished piece that i have made in a while!

  1. I really like how the indigo on the bracelet is muted. This sounds like it will be a practice makes perfect procedure but I think your creations are gorgeous so far.

    Hey, I didn't know you have Norwegian ancestry. What other European countries have you hidden in your wonderful person?
