I shared these patina pieces a while back — and to be honest, they’ve been sitting on my bench ever since. Nothing was clicking… until I started another project and suddenly saw how these two ideas might come together.

Some pieces take a little longer, and that’s exactly the point.
Follow along to see where this goes.
