most videos keep it a secret how to seal flamepainted copper. The secret is "protectaclear" of everbrite. It is the (only) one who does not "eat" your wonderful colors!

If you use a dual hose torch, you can separate the colors and place the color of your choice where you want it to go, and even draw pictures with it! It is the most exciting art medium I have ever tried.

Pam, the only thing I think may be that you are not moving constantly. The copper will get black or grey if too hot for very long. Keep working at it! ☺

If we only knew how to maintain the color without it fading over time.....

Thank you Lynne! Excellent video. I cannot seem to find crystal laquer spray. I do have Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel. But enamel isn’t the same , is it? Really changes the colors. I know sealing it will always change the color somewhat but what specifically are you using? Oh! I’ve also used Protectaclear

The liquid in the tupperware is just plain water, used to quench the copper.

I really appreciate you sharing this, it is lovely! I tried it on a few of my copper clay pieces, but because my work is already detailed, it looked too busy. I love the simplicity of your work, allowing the colour to speak for itself!

That is cool!👍😃

Very cool thanks

love it thanks Lynne!

Excellent. So simple! I'm building a custom copper shower. I'm going to try this. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning and so mesmerizing to watch. ❤

I have been doing this so amany times, but never tried colling in water between heats... great to know and going to try it now... you get really good results that i end up hunting after for a long time on small pieces I make.

Brilliant!! I have a blow torch and heat block for pmc - I'm going straight onto ebay now to look for copper! :o) x

Muchas gracias

Wonderful example, thank you. I do have a question. I've created some pieces that have great vibrancy in color when the piece is facing forward, then from the side, it gets a bit dull in a different light. Ex. looking at the piece straight on, a section looks magenta. From the side it looks, more orangish. Is this just the nature of the metal or is it what I'm doing? In other words, should the colors look the same from all angles?

I used to a lot of brazing or silver soldering on copper joints for aircon install. I never even thought of this!! I have been doing some knife restoration, machete making and electroplating with copper. Can I do this on copper plated spoon I did? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work love it 🙂👍👍👍

Great video!

Nice work. Where a did you shop for the copper and the torch??

Beautiful work, thanks.
