No need to mess up a real pricey brush, but neither do you want to leave brush hairs all over your jewelry. Also, get a #5 soft, round, medium-priced watercolor brush. Then, I don’t touch the part I wish to patina. The piece must be very clean, so I scrub it with a paste of pumice and water and then rinse it. ![]() A slight tooth, even with the 9- or 15-grit 3M Finishing Films, will work. Liver of sulfur will work on a polished surface, but a surface finished with rouge to a high polish may take several applications and a lot of patience. First, the metal needs some “tooth.” A textured or lightly sanded finish works best. Liver of Sulfur Prepīefore you jump in with your LOS solution, you’ll need to prep the metal for the application. Also, keep it away from tools and other acids. Liver of sulfur will deteriorate in sunlight, so if you make up a batch, keep it tightly covered and in a dark, cool place. You only need the size of half of a green pea and about a quarter cup of water to make a good solution. I have found that many people, even when using the lump form, make way too much solution. Plus, I don’t think it lasts as long or is effective as long as the other two forms. My personal least favorite is the liquid form, and this is because when used in a classroom setting, students use way too much and it gets wasted. For years, I used the lump form, and it works fine, but I have found the gel form much easier to use with the same or even better results. LOS comes in three forms: liquid, lump and gel. The newer liver of sulfur gel comes in several sizes. You control this with your application of the patina. Colors achieved with liver of sulfur can range from a golden yellow to dark gray or black. ![]() I find it a bit more difficult to get a good patina on brass, and it has no effect on gold.

It brings out the textural details in metal jewelry and can make the pieces look antiqued. Liver of sulfur (LOS) is a potassium sulfide. Keep it in a cool dark place away from tools and other acids. Do I like the smell of it? NO WAY! But do I like the results? ABSOLUTELY! What is Liver of Sulfur? Traditional liver of sulfur comes in lump form in an airtight metal canister. It’s a patina that sinks into the recesses of metal textures and shows nice contrast when I remove and polish it off the high areas. To me, it’s the stuff that gives my silver jewelry designs so much character, which makes it invaluable in my mind. Liver of sulfur may be a little less than pleasant to your nose, but I can’t help but love it. Inevitably, someone always asks, “What’s that stinky stuff?” It is important to be careful when polishing your design as it is possible to polish off the patina completely, although the darker the colour, the more difficult it is to remove.Whenever I teach hand-finishing jewelry workshops, I mix up a small solution of liver of sulfur. When you have achieved the colour you want you can gently polish your design using a jewellery cloth to remove the patina from certain areas and bring out lovely silver highlights. ![]() Paint it onto the parts you want and try layering it by applying it several times or, for a more random effect or varying colours, let it splash or drip (carefully) from the brush. Liver of sulphur can be applied with a brush if you only want to oxidise certain parts of the piece. Repeat this process until you are happy with the colour.Įxperiment with the temperature of the water, the amount of liver of sulphur or by adding a drop of household ammonia or some salt which can give you more vibrant colours. Use the same amount of liver of sulphur but mix it with cold water and don’t heat your piece first. This will slow down the process so you can stop when you achieve the desired colour.ĭip and remove the piece quickly and rinse with cold water immediately. You can obtain a beautiful range of colours with Liver of sulphur – gold, copper, purple, blue and blue-grey before the metal turns black. ![]() ![]() Whereas the Product Owner works with a vision and backlog items equivalent to functional requirements in an agile way of work, the Solution Architect works with a solution design and backlog items very much resembling non-functional requirements. How evolvable and resilient is the product? Measuring the Value of the Product The outcomes of a Solution Architect’s work are the product’s backbone, the understanding of solution design among the Developers, and the product’s ability to be built, tested, deployed, operated, and monitored. Is the product helping the customer get the job done? The outcomes of a Product Owner’s work are the product’s face, the understanding of value among the Developers, the relationship with the users, customers and/or sponsors, and the product’s usefulness in their hands. Driving the Outcomes of the Scrum Team’s Work When they don’t-or a person who can act as the Solution Architect is missing-the Scrum Team becomes the victim of not being able to see the overarching architectural patterns and of having cut corners where they should have been laying foundations. When the Product Owner and the Solution Architect work in harmony, the Scrum Team balances delivering value and improving its ability to deliver value with every Sprint. From the other, one of understanding the solution-design patterns, making the most of technology, and striving for continuous improvement. From the one side, a culture of understanding and valuing the customer. The two are also the drivers of culture in the team. Just like some Product Owners keep a roadmap, which helps to visualize the mid- to long-term direction of the product, some Solution Architects have a runway, which consists of the non-negotiable enabler work that must be done along the way. These enablers can be anything from Technical Spikes that help the Developers on the team evaluate options to reduce the risk of selecting a technical approach to Enablers to build features and capabilities into the product, or refactor existing ones to pay off technical debt. Typically, the Solution Architect does this by formulating enablers and tasks that improve the Scrum Team’s DevOps capabilities and shape the technical backbone of the product, and that ultimately contribute to the product’s quality attributes, which many know as a product’s “-ilities.” That vision is there to help ensure the product is fit for purpose (it meets the user’s needs) and fit for use (it’s there when the user needs it). ![]() The Solution Architect, SAFe says, is responsible for defining and communicating a shared technical and architectural vision. Though Scrum doesn’t prescribe what the Solution Architect does, nor how they do it, a useful definition comes from the Solution Architect role as defined by version 5 of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). ![]() The Product Owner does this by formulating and communicating the product goal and the themes, epics, and/or user stories on the product backlog, making sure the backlog itself is visible and transparent to the organization, and the items on it are clear to the Developers on the Scrum Team. Others say it goes deeper, and that the Solution Architect contributes as much to the operability of a product as he or she does to its development, especially in Scrum Teams where DevOps is more than “just another agile term.” Some liken their relationship to that between a Chief Executive and a Chief Technology Officer in a company, with one growing the company and the other ensuring that the company has the technical backbone required for it to grow. The Solution Architect, on the other hand, is there to continuously improve the product’s ability to deliver value in working with the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the Scrum Team’s work. From its perspective, they are a Developer on the team. The challenge is that there’s not much information on this topic out there, and the Scrum Guide doesn’t prescribe a specific role for the Solution Architect. Whether you are a Product Owner or a Solution Architect, understanding how these two roles interact is critical to working effectively in-and with-your Scrum Team. ![]() ![]() Make yourself an invaluable resource for your audience as they look to master new skills.
