 great May 31, 2007

excellent book which covers more than i could have imagined, good illustrations of results, clear instructions too. Only problem is obtaining some of the chemicals which are neccessary.
 Nicely presented and technically explained November 30, 2004

The book is a show case and apart from that is technically very well done.
It is clearly oriented at the artist as few of the processes explained would be industrial feasible. It has a very nice index of perfectly photographed plate samples which represent the effect you will have after successfully following the recipe. It is fairly comprehensive and covers hundreds of different patinas with their exact recipe, chemicals and application methods. The recipes are grouped into 6 main sections: cast bronze, cast yellow brass, copper and copper-plate, gilding metal, yellow brass, silver and silver plate. Sadly enough there are lots of more metals. Some of the patinas may not be feasible to the common artist, the products are very specific and at times very hard to get hold of.

Lovely book, both in content and presentation
but
Only Copper and copper alloys -- no Iron, Lead, Pewter or aluminium.
Pity, but I do expect to be reffering back to it over the years.

An excellent collection of recipes for colouring metals. October 21, 2000

This book contains hundreds of recipes for the colouration of metals using chemicals, of which jewellers and sculptors alike should be able to make full use. Colour plates show examples of what can be achieved, and the various techniques are explained clearly. Interestingly, the author also gives details of recipes that have failed to give satisfactory results. This is a very well researched book and provides a huge bibliography of other sources of related information. Sadly, no indication of where the reader might obtain the chemicals is provided. They are not carried by your local chemist's shop or drug-store.
