Creative effects with real iron and copper

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much for all your positive comments about this video, I'm very pleased with the response and hope that you will enjoy working with this technique. I have put a materials list in the description and there are some product links if you have trouble finding the materials used for this process.

[@ant11368]

As a science teacher, i find this video particularly fascinating. How on earth do u discover these techniques??!! U really push the boundaries of this art form

[@DanTirels]

I think living by the coast and seeing the weathered materials found along the shore inspire a lot of my work. Love to watch how these transform over time.

[@Natkartuli]

Dan, I just want to say that you are such an inspiration to me.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you very much.

[@bogibell]

stunning - thank you for this Dan! I once bought iron and copper powder but never tried. I love that there's no music and you didn't speed it up. This was so calming to watch. I will give it a try :)

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback. I like to make the kind of videos that I like to watch myself, I think time lapse sequences can be a bit confusing sometimes so prefer to edit together real time videos that show the process in detail. Hope you get some good results with this technique.

[@effy2848]

@@DanTirels yes! No music is amazing!

[@bettyhughes2703]

Beautiful! I've worked with copper and iron on both ceramics and metal, but this something new and exciting for me. Thanks for this

Dan, you are an alchemist. You take base materials and turn them into artistic gold. I love your work and your style.

[@rosacamilleri3193]

the green copper patina and the rust colours really compliment each other

[@DanTirels]

I think so too! It is such a good process to experiment with.

[@iraimaalonso2460]

I LOVE THIS....I've played with metal jewelry for the last few years using some patinas, finally using colored pencils for coloring but I totally love this!!!!

[@DanTirels]

Living by the coast I have always been drawn to these colours, reminds me of the old ships and abandoned shipping containers on the derelict dockside.

[@pamelaslaughter2491]

These are stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@Nomadcreations]

Brilliant Ideas Dan, Thanx 4 Sharing

[@DanTirels]

Glad you liked it!

[@AnneGoggansQHHT]

If you want to use powder, put it an old shaker bottle, like for herbs, and it shakes nicely. Brushing on a paste was great too. For spray bottles, go to beauty department or with good cleaning supplies and get a sprayer that turns to adjust. You won’t believe the difference it makes.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for the info!

Gosh I loved this. Wish I had all the materials to try it myself yet I'm heading in another direction that's currently using my resources. Thank you and I hope to come back to your style in the future.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you, it's always good to experiment with different materials, it is possible to achieve this with paint using the correct colours but I thing the added interest with this is the chemical process and the reaction of the metals.

[@coraannetoledo-merritt1220]

I Lovely effects. Would love to try once I have the ingredients. It wasn't clear to me what you had in the bottle te draw the dark lines. Thanks so much for giving inspiration.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you, I will be updating the description under the video with a full materials list and Time stamps that can be skipped through to various sections. (the bottle that you see me use is called Liver of Sulphur)

[@basenjipoppy]

@@DanTirels Brilliant idea to use the Liver of Sulphur, keeping with the metal/oxidation/patina theme, to get an "organic black" Peace

This is gorgeous. I wonder if this could be put on cardstock for junk journals

You do have to be careful with the copper and it really shouldn't be handled too much. I would recommend sealing with a couple of coats of matte varnish and it should be OK.

[@junedurkin240]

Dan stunning work I love the raw oxides and the fabulous effects the silence its wonderful the only thing is when your showing the products I cant catch the name of the products I see you have a description list but I cant see this either on the page and now as you tube doesnt let you go back or fwd this is a bit debilitating if poss please tell me how to find your description list thanks so much June
