Lantern ornament

I had this lantern set as a thank you.    I am going to give it to my son for his christmas decorations.   I was going to paint it all gold to go with his decor, but he said he would like a turquoise blue.

However, when it came to paint it although I was sort of going down the turquoise and blue route, I decided I wanted a sort of distressed oriental feel to them, with some patina and ruse effects, as they reminded me of pagodas.

 I suppose if he doesn't like them - I can always repaint them!   This is what it looked like before I started.
