Mixed Metals and Mini Oxides

Yield: 4 #5 Tags

when you spray the tags with water, the scorched timber underneath 
the metallic ink starts to come to the surface, this is part of the magic.





the larger raised areas can be wiped with a damp paper towel,
the smaller details I wipe with a damp cotton swab.

  2. So beautiful... Am I correct that you're showing four color schemes (one metallic mixative and two oxides on each) or do you apply all four mixatives and eight colors to a single tag in layers?
