lightly dab maxitive over the grit paste and fasteners and
a little rubbed along the edges (this step is repeated on copper as well)
the foundry wax was rubbed lightly over the fasteners,
grit texture, and stamped text (avoiding the botanical)
and heat set prior to the next step...I missed taking a photo.
a mini mister is crucial here, it delivers smaller droplets and less water at a time,
water is the key, water is where the magic of Distress begins and ends.
after spraying, walk away, let it dry, leave it alone you can't rush this or
cheat the air drying time. your patience will be rewarded.
i buffed the shiny black embossing powder to dull the finish.
the gloss looks good too if you want to skip this step.
They look so cool! Great inspiration!
