You Can Get Stunning Results By
Layering & Mixing Different Colors Of Brass.
In This Renaissance Sytle Set, I Used
Several Different Colors Of Brass. Czech
Glass Rhinestones And Beads Are My Pick For
Achieving An "Old World" Look. Imperfections
In The Beads And/Or Stones Are Welcome As
They Really Add To The Old World Look :) In This Set I Combined Old Natural Patina Brass With My Aged Patina (Darker Tone) Brass To Create Added Dimension.

Get This Beautiful Mulit-Brown Tone By Finishing Your Aged Brass With Minwax Walnut Gel Stain (available at walmart and most paint/hardware stores). It's A Great Finish! It Not Only Adds To The Beauty But Also Provides A Protective Finish. All In One Easy Step :)). Be Sure To Assemble (Glue Together) All Of Your Pieces Before Appling The Stain. Most Of The Findings Used In This Brooche Are From My Aged Patina Brass Collection. Great For Refinishing! Just Buff The Aged Brass With X-Fine Steel Wool To Expose Lighter Tone Highlights Before Appling The Stain!
