Perhaps verre eglomise is such a well kept secret because it's virtually impossible to take a good picture of it. In reality, this little leaf panel shimmers beautifully, especially in candlelight.
Tomorrow (the 9th) I'll be using this design to teach Kirstie Allsopp on Kirstie's Home Made Home how to gild glass. If you'd like to learn how to do it contact me for details of classes. Gold Leaf Supplies (click on my picture to go to their website) have a fantastic glass gilding kit that I'll be using with students this year.
Or if you'd like to learn how to gild fruit and all sorts of other things, have a look at my "Christmas Table" classes that I'm running in November and December.
