How to achieve Aqua Blue Patina?





January 20, 2009

Hi my name Is Arno Olivier, I am a Industrial Designer based in Cape Town South Africa.
I have been researching Patinas on copper and brass in the hope to use it on furniture pieces that I am manufacturing. In my searching for help online, I have come across this picture of a copper tile with the most brilliant blue patina.

I would love to reproduce this aqua blue patina and would appreciate if some one can help me with advise or suggestions.
