Gilding In My Studio

Gilded Lilies. This is white gold leaf rather than silver. It's a finer, softer leaf, and has a more delicate colour.



Some of my much loved, much used brushes. They're like old friends. The gilded Verre Eglomise Painting behind is called "Falling Petals" and is gilded in rose gold leaf.

My adored pigment box. In the background is a Chinoiserie Verre Eglomise panel based on a wallpaper sample.

Sigh. I really did mean to clean up.

One of my most thumbed books. I use it constantly. The Verre Eglomise frame has a pattern I created for a much larger frame finished in black and 24 carat gold. It works well in blue and 22 carat though.
