I really think your work is amazing. I love the idea of creating colors with just heat, and the stainless seems to produce some very vibrant colors. I'm with everyone else in asking if it fades or needs to be protected. I tried it with steel and it seemed like I could almost rub it off with my thumb. I'm also curious about the fold forming in steel or stainless. Is it done hot? If not, how do you go about anealing the material to prevent tearing and still keep the properties of the stainless?
