I think my most creative time is Sunday morning sitting on the patio with the sun coming up over my shoulder. This Sunday I was think about Donnie's double sided wrap and decided I would give it a try. The stone is one I got from Rockds so I don't know what it is. Both sides are nice so it was a good candidate for a double sided wrap. A-Side B-Side Before applying patina Thanks for looking. Kevin

Looks great! I also like the abstractness of the way you wrapped it!

That looks great. I'm not sure if I like the patina or the straight copper better.

I used liver of sulfer for the patina. It is quite easy to use. I mixed 1/2 teaspoon LOS with 6 oz of warm water. Dip the pendant in the solution then neutralize with water. I then used fine steel wool to take off most of the patina. I also burnished in the tumbler for a final polish. You must wear gloves and I would recommend using outdoors or somewhere with ventilation. I purchased gel liver of sulfer from Rio Grande along with my wire.
