I just recently received a set of Ver-Day Paints and Patinas from Ten Seconds Studio. I am having the best time painting and patinating my polymer sculptures and wire work. I have so many ideas running wild through my head I don't know how I will ever get them all done.
Here is my first Greenman ever. I have wanted to create one for years and the thought of creating one with a verdi-gris patina gave me the final push I needed to just do it.
Here he is with his freshly sculpted leaves. Yes, I hand sculpted each and every little leaf and every tiny vein by hand. I am just crazy that way! I spent an inordinant amount of time sculpting the leaves and then arranging them onto his head just right.
Here is my Greenman with his Ver-Day Copper Paint. The paint has actual copper, metal particles in it so, when I spray it with the Ver-Day Patina solution it will develop a natural verdi-gris patina over the course of a few hours. Once the patina has developed I will be back to share the final results.
That is awesome. I can't wait to see it when you're done. Can't wait to see all the other things you paint up.

Thank you, Cheryl! Your paints and patinas are so cool! I love how it starts to change immediately after applying. My head is spinning with ideas. I started small to get my feet wet but, I have plans for much larger pieces.
It combines so well with polymer. I can create large pieces that would be difficult and very costly to do with copper, bronze, or iron. Also, so much easier to transport than actual metal!
