Скачать или смотреть Experiment - GOLD

GOLD!! In the past I have done lots of gilding, so this was my first experiment. The idea was to guild a stitching so that I could see what one of my stitchings would look like if it were made out of metal.

I used Kölner Minatum clear gold size. I am not sure this was the best gold size for the job, but I have done lots of gilding on paper in the past and this is what I used so I had some in stock so decided it would be OK for a test piece. After the size had dried (about 12hrs or so later), I then used 24ct transfer gold leaf (of course, I would only use the best!!)

It is exactly what I was envisaging – but the gold didn’t bond too well to the fabric…
