Resin Over Rust

A little experiment.
Vintage, plated flowers with different heat, patina and surface treatments.
But you can't wear rust, there is concern for things like botulism so you have to coat it in something. But it has to be in something that is even more durable then the corrosive rust.
Ice resin to the rescue.
The glassy, wet look could be altered with scratches and an antique wash. But that adds a whole other hour onto the pieces. And I need to make other stuff.

  1. These are cool. You might dry a dulling spray over them. It might knock the shine back some. I love my new pieces.
