Calico Filigree Verdigris

Hello all!  I've been playing with some of the new Calico Craft Parts for Christmas - some filigree baubles - and experimenting with getting a verdigris effect, using DecoArt bits and bobs.


If you'd like to see the full results, do hop over and see my Filigree Verdigris Baubles at Calico Craft Parts.  I'll keep it short and sweet here for now, and see you again soon.

Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles.

If you don't mind hopping to Calico to see the full set, I'd love to enter these at Anything But Cute where the theme is It's Ornamental

    This is a fantabulous verdigris result! Wonderful work with your layering of color to achieve the final result. I bet these will look amazing on a tree. Awesome sauce texture as well! Such an ornamental piece! :)
