Sometimes, when I make a piece of jewelry, the silver that I love suddenly looks garish next to my bead. That was the case with my Art Bead Scene project. When this happens, I love to blacken my silver to make is disappear into the project.
I use chunks of Liver of Sulfur:
I microwave a cup of water for about a minute and drop in one chunk. I stir with a wooden skewer or chopstick.
Here's all my silver bits:
And here they are drying off. I ended up not using them all. As always, the jewelry takes on its own direction as I work.
