First Finished Piece!

Author: After polishing and re-doing the liver of sulphur around 20 times, I’m finally satisfied with the finish I got on my first donut!
Peacock Donut
This is a hollow piece that I added Aurra 22 to, then patina and set a sapphire, amethyst and iolite into. Its nice to have something that I can feel is finally done! I practiced the patinas on the back, to make sure I would be happy with the finished product on the front.

Julia, this is a beautiful piece, really very nicely made and finished. Lovely contrast of both color and texture. Angela

Julia, This is stunning! I love the wonderful colours on the back. The texture on the front is just wonderful and dark blues pinks and oranges really add a lot so much. How were you able to control the colours so well?
Yum!

Very lovely colors, and the work on it is great. The back looks

Thankyou all so much for your kind words.
@Magda - I used everything cold and only did one coat.. I think the LOS solution was pretty strong to start off with. (I couldn’t work out how to break up the pieces! LOL)
