I know that this might not be for everyone but I was thinking out loud this morning about spraying round objects with a product called Sculpt Nouveau.
I have used this product in the past on flat plaques, it works really well and is available in a long list of finishes such as bronze, copper, stainless, and silver among others. It is also available with a variety of patinas that can be applied.
There is real metal in the liquid so it can be polished once its cured and you use a very inexpensive spray gun to apply it to your project.
Think about bronze urns or even a bronze table with decorative turned legs.
