Verdigris Pigment

I finally found some time to scrape off the verdigris from the copper pipe sleeves.  After the scrapping and grinding, I ended up with 2 grams of pigment.  I'm not looking at starting another round of verdigris in a few weeks, using several different vinegars and even a homemade vinegar to see what colors and how well they produce.
