The VERDIGRIS and SEPIA TAGS
The patina formed on rusted copper and some other materials such as brass and bronze that are exposed to the elements is called VERDIGRIS for its lovely green-gray color. Often a turquoise shade that develops due to outdoor weathering can be seen as well. This is one of my favorite colors, and nature herself creates it!
The vintage photos of olden days in SEPIA tones also intrigue me. That distinct yellowish-brown-gray color found in ephemera of times past is another color I gravitate to quite often. There is a *stop and take a look* calmness and serenity to sepia-toned photographs.
To celebrate these favorite two colors of mine, I created the "Verdigris and Sepia" Tags which are displayed on a burlap-covered board. This is third in a series - the first being the Christmas Tags, and the second set being the RED tags.
