Brass sheet/foil

[GlassOwl]

I love using copper inclusions. I have tried the .3mm brass and it is ok inside something like a coaster but it does cause there to be a lip in the coaster so I was careful about the shape I added. The bubbles are wonderful if you want that effect and of course it is a gorgeous golden colour and stays that way unlike the copper which goes mostly red but I have had some go green which was pretty stunning.

Have fun

Hiya, 

Where did you see the 0.3mm folk as I've been looking for some more for ages.

Does anyone know how to control the oxidisation process of copper to get different effects. e.g. reds, blues, greens, coppers?

I keep reading (on US sites) about coating copper with clear glass paint to keep the original colour but I can't figure out where to get it from in the UK. I was hoping to paint some of the copper and leave other bits unpainted.

I seem to get really dark results but I'm wondering if that's because I hadn't realised until recently that it has to be cleaned!

I have tried to work out what I did with the copper when it went green, I always clean the copper so I dont know that I did anything different and no one I have asked has every had any idea, maybe someone on here has managed to make it go green and know why so that its reproducible.

Thanks

Sandra
