Default Who has used Copper Leaf & how

I somehow acquired some copper leaf (God only knows how long ago), and I have never tried using it. I'm on a Minor with natural gas. Have you used it, and how? What was the effect.

Thanks in advance!

Used on EDP it creates a blue that looks like denim. Apply as you would silver foil but don't overlap it. Then burnish it and put it in the flame. It will look like yuck until it is annealed. Make sure to use good ventilation.

If you do a "search" on copper leaf, you will come up with numerous threads that have already discussed this. Opal Yellow is another favorite... that's the only one I can remember off the top of my head. Turns the OY a coppery green color.

Good luck and enjoy!

Sue
