So....  here I go again about white vinegar!  So many uses.... they keep growing by the day.  (well almost)   I found a link on the weekend referring making copper coins clean and all sparkly again.  Now this I knew, I can remember doing it when I was a child.  But what I did not know was, that this same recipe will tarnish and copper plate metal, what kinds of metal I am not sure... still experimenting.  I brought some charm on special at  spotlight... bright shiny silver.... (not my favourite, I like old)  any-ways... I have tried tarnishing and copper plating these and thus far it seems to be working.  I am reasonably impressed.

I seem to be spend all my time in the studio which I commonly refered to as my art cave these days....( so yes this is a good thing)... Right where was I going with this ..before the phone rang.  That 's right I have been working on my casting plaster products again... and are finally getting them to a place where I am happy,  using a lime wash and transfer techniques.  I am loving this effect,  I can not wait to try more of my designs.   

I have had this image in my mid near on two years and this is the 2nd time I have tried playing...I feel I am still not there yet!  But  I will keep on keeping on, until I get to a place where I am happy with.
