Krause Craft Patina: 300+ Coloration Effects for Jewelers & Metalsmiths

Es un libro que a mi parecer estás perfectamente hecho, técnicas, materiales y formas de lograr los objetivos

I am an artist that is also an engineer. This book is completely my style of book. It speaks to both the artist in me as well as the engineer. This book not only does well showing the technical details of different materials (highlighting what actual alloys were used in the test) and finishing methods, but then also beautify presents each result in well organized color chips. This is really a great starting place. I would say that perhaps it might be intimidating for someone new, but it gives you everything you need to start and to experiment, while also letting you know the range of possibilities.

This book obtained from another source after the one finally shipped by Amazon 6 months after order was deemed undeliverable and refunded.The book itself is awesome, inspiring me to add other metal treatments to the projects I make- Most of the recipes I haven’t yet tried, but the explained processes are easily achievable.

Thank you Mr. Runfola for make the amazing book.

The book offers a wide range of methods to create patina on different metals. I found it easy to read and the recipes at the end are straightforward to follow. If patina experiments are your interest, beginning with this book and supplementing with internet searches will give you plenty of things to try.
