[Jewelry making - Article 00321] - [Orchid] Good method for patina on bronze

[Carol Carter-Wientjes]

Hello all,

    I recently purchased a 16 gauge sheet of bronze to cut some disks
    from, what a pain! After reading up on other things to do with it
    since there's a lot of sheet leftover now, discovered that a
    beautiful patina can be achieved using a torch. After some
    experimentation last night, obviously there's some art to it that I
    wasn't doing quite right. 

    Can anyone share a good method or recommend a good resource that
    would give a how-to for this? Would be grateful for some pointers. 

Thank you & Have a great Orchid day :-)
Carol
