I had a go at glass gilding over the weekend and it was a humbling experience! Thank you Paul from Identity Signs for your patience (tolerance) not just with the gilding process but also how to choose colours.
For this piece Ive used gold leaf, silver leaf and rose gold glitter, because this magpie likes all the sparkles ✨ Apologies to Phil who will have glitter throughout his workshop for the next 30 years. Gilding is a very slow, methodical process which doesn’t suit my instant gratification itch but I’m so pleased I stuck with it. I have a newfound respect for the gilders I follow and admire, I always knew it was hard but it’s HARD hard!
Also please admire the fingerprints on my glass in the first shot, I left them there especially for you Wazza 🤣
