Day 25: Beena Experimenting Day

Titanium!
My boyfriend has been researching different metals recently. One of the coolest he's learned about is titanium. Instead of painting this metal to change the color, you can anodize it. This essentially causes the oxide layer to have different thicknesses and to appear different colors (assuming I understand it correctly).
We decided to experiment with this process. He bought titanium guitar picks off the internet, and then we set everything up to be able to anodize it. Pretty cool results, in my opinion.
