how do you get the peacock colors in copper? With heat only?
I'm starting a new hobby. I'm making copper sculptures using solid copper wire and copper in sheet form. I started using a torch (propane brazing torch)to change the color of the copper, but i can only make the copper turn white, yellow, orange and red. After red, my copper turns dark gray, almost black. I want to get the green, blue and purple.
I have a metalsmith book that has the recipes for coloring copper. If you've an e-mail address, I can scan and send you the recipes. My addy is rappel_welch2003@yahoo.com. E-mail me and I'll reply with the recipes. If you're interested in buying the book outright (it's got great info and tips) it's called The Complete Metalsmith. The author is Tim McCreight
