Finished Oxidized Pieces

Posted by Laurel Collins , Sunday, October 3, 2010 12:39 AM

Here are a few of my finished items using oxidization. I just love how it makes a wire wrapped piece look so elegant! I think I am going to keep doing this technique with future pieces I make. It gives them a depth that you don't see in a normal polished piece.



Oxidizing Metal Wire

So, I think it went quite well today! My first oxidizing experience seems to be a success! It was crazy how quick the oxidizing process takes. As soon as I dropped the metal pieces in, they were already turning black! Here are some photos:

Later after a bit of polishing:


I seriously love how these turned out!

Liver of Sulfur!!

It's been a bit again since my last update, but this next one should be a good one! I have decided to try oxidizing both copper and silver using liver of sulfur. This experiment will hopefully be taking place tomorrow.

I found this page here that explains the process pretty well.

I will have both before and after pictures to post tomorrow! Should be exciting!
