Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing - I have wanted to try the gold leafing this gives me a good reason to give it a shot.
That is a nice piece you have made keep it up

Every one has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
The sign looks great....Well done. Your efforts certainly come through as it is extremely crisp and clear...

Outstanding job on the sign.

That looks great. Can you share the gold leafing process you used to make that sign. I have only used a liquid gold leaf but it does not look nearly as nice as that. Thanks

OK..... so here's my question on gold leafing (since I don't have a clue about it). I was given a small glass jar and is has small gold flakes in it. I know it's not glitter. I thought gold leafing came in sheets. Does it by chance come in containers as gold flakes too? As I mentioned, it's definitely not glitter and it's just small dry gold flakes. Besides, how does one put that on something?
