Verre Eglomise Tips

. Am getting ready to do a shoot tomorrow with Gold Leaf Supplies http://www.goldleafsupplies.co.uk/ Am producing a range of Verre Eglomise for next Christmas that GLS will feature. Some of the designs are based on traditional faux finishes; Malachite, Lapiz, Mother of Pearl and Tortoiseshell. Below is a picture of the Lapiz, with a few tips on how to achieve the look

Flake 24 carat gold into the coloured areas and back with 12 carat white gold leaf. Have a go if you'd like to yourself, GLS sell a great glass gilding kit that I helped them put together. If it's still a bit difficult and you'd like some help with the process, email me about glass gilding course details. I am running one mid may in London at J Hornsby http://www.jhornsbyinteriors.co.uk/
