Take your jewelry designs to another dimension with this Lillypilly 3x3-inch 36 gauge mottled spiral embossed patina copper sheet. This thin, square sheet is decorated with imprinted spiral shapes across its warm copper surface. The front of this piece showcases dark gunmetal spots in random patterns, resulting from the patina process of copper. Similar to the natural aging process of copper and bronze, this incredible coloration happens when chemicals produce new colors on the surface to protect the material from corrosion. Each sheet will vary in its appearance and is coated with a protective wax. A second layer of paste wax should be applied to protect the coloring. While you can cut these sheets with sturdy scissors, make sure these scissors are used for the sole purpose of cutting the sheets because they will lose their ability to cut paper.
