The Holly Jolly Roger

A patina is applied with either a very dry brush or a very wet one, depending on who you ask and the desired effect. In my case I wanted an antiqued look that would bring out the detail on an otherwise plain piece.

One of these objects has been given the full patina treatment while the other has only had the skull detail done. I can't decide if I should limit the treatment or do the entire thing for the rest I made. Ethan said he likes the one on the right better. I like the full treatment, but my technique could use a little work.

What do you think? I will most likely be posting these Wednesday afternoon.
