Step 6: Painting the lamp shade II: Patina optional treatment

Real tiffany lamp shade's lead is actually quite silvery. They used a special patina to make it look black even though you can still see the metallic sheen. I wanted my lamp shade to look a little bit like that. I you don't care for that kind of details, go to the next step.

Paint the dry liquid lead with the silver acrylic craft paint. Let it dry.

With a cotton swab, apply a coat of watered down black acrylic craft paint.

With another cotton swab, clean the black acrylic paint stains from the "glass" surface.

That's it!
