Glass Gilding Kits

Gold Leaf Supplies have this fantastic starter kit for glass gilding, everything you need to begin making beautiful verre eglomise. Cick on my profile picture to go to their website. Top tip, a pair of scissors and eyebrow tweezers are a great help when gilding. Keeping the book of gold open is quite difficult, so to make it easier, cut away the binding and then use the tweezers to lift off each piece of paper between the gold. It means that the leaf stays flat and protected while you work.
