I sat down and created my metal dancer this evening.

I'm loving how she turned out, but after looking at her for a few seconds, i'm wanting to add color- perhaps by using some acrylic paints (since i don't have any spray paint)

  1. I just love the flow of that. What kind of metal is that? You might be able to anneal it over a stove flame and give it some rainbow colors.

  2. Try it on a scrap first. Hold it with pliers, not your fingers.

  3. yeah, that's the effect i was going to try out, but didn't know what it was called.
    It's just regular craft metal. It look shinier than it is because of the flash. would i need to seal in the anneal?

  4. I'm no expert but I did it on some forks and knives. I think all we did was dunk it in a bucket of water after heating it up. See if it works on your scrap metal and if so, go from there.
