All the Rage: Patina Fingernails

They're hot...I know...I'm such a trend-setter.

Tree Gate Progress

So the gate is getting there...slowly but surely. I did some samples, playing with paint failure and oxidation and then sealed a part. I'm hoping I won't be sorry using these unorthodox methods on hot rolled steel.
Speaking of hot...this sucker heats up like a frying pan. In order to work on it, I had to get up before the sun blazed its heat upon my tree. Could only work a little at a time as it starts affecting my application process. I'm liking it though..and D likes it.
I will post some more final pics on www.rarebirdart.blogspot.com
