Gilding Glass with Kirstie Allsopp

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/kirsties-homemade-home/4od#3135743

Here I am with the lovely Kirstie Allsopp teaching her reverse painting and verre eglomise. She did a fine job. As you can see from her panel, the easiest kinds of designs to copy are bold and fluid. Bright colours look incredible with the gold backing. Silver leaf is also wonderful to work with. Colours like prussian blue and vermilion really complement silver and white gold.
