My first attempt at custom heat anodizing a titanium yoyo at home.

I wanted to create a gradient that kept the rim color as close to the original as possible, really happy with how it turned out! ✨🦖

That’s rad! i don’t have the knowledge or fortitude to attempt this on my only titanium yoyo, but it’s a super cool look.
