I may have alluded to this or even mentioned it outright before, but I'm no designer. Not only can I not design, but I'm also pretty sure that any designer I ever tried to hire would quit or fire me after a short span of time.
Working with a designer and a carpenter on this adventure has forced me to learn some things, and I'm going to share them back with you when there aren't projects & other Painted Hammer related things to go on about in this blog space. Today's word from the world of design is patina. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary tells us this: *** pa·ti·na noun \pə-ˈtē-nə, ˈpa-tə-nə\ : a thin usually green layer that forms naturally on the metals copper and bronze when they are exposed to the air for a long time : a shiny or dark surface that forms naturally on something (such as wood or leather) that is used for a long time : a thin layer *** I understand why designers use the word "patina" for this. Advertising something as "weathered" just isn't as inviting.
