A record of the color changes of the flat-fine single-bead rosary I've been polishing for a year. The flat-fine beads are small and relatively quick to color. After a year, the color of the rosary has already changed significantly. Recording the color changes of this year and looking back on the growth of the rosary is full of a sense of achievement.

What it looked like a year ago

A year ago, the rosary had just finished the primer. The light yellow color made the beads look delicate, but there wasn't much luster. At that time, I just started polishing it and held the rosary every day, hoping it would change color. Looking back at the photos from that time, the light yellow and immature rosary is completely different from what it is now. Time really can change a lot.

The current color

The current rosary has a noticeably ruddy color. The flat-fine beads are small and quick to color. Over the course of a year, the light yellow faded and gave way to a warm red with even and beautiful coloration. The patina has also thickened a bit, and the rosary's surface is oily and shiny under the light. The color of the 108 beads is uniform, which looks very comfortable. After a year of changes, the flat-fine beads have delivered a good performance.

Expectations for next year

Next year, I expect the color to be even darker and the patina thicker. After a year of polishing, I've become proficient in the method. After polishing, I always wash my hands and wear gloves when sweating. The rhythm is steady. A record of the color changes of the flat-fine single-bead rosary I've been polishing for a year. What I'm recording is not just the color, but also my daily persistence. Next year, the rosary will be even more red and beautiful.
