Vol. XI How to Create Antique & Other Distressed Finishes to Imitation gold Leaf and Genuine Gold Leaf.

antique goldThis gilding manual has been a long time in the making, and has changed since it's inception due to the number of people who approached me.

 

By far the greater proportion of people were new comers to the world of gilding and wanted instruction, also many people wanted to know how to apply various antique effects to gold leaf and composition gold leaf, these were picture framers and people involved in the world of scrap booking, all sorts of craftspeople wanted to know how to apply a crackle glaze and how to make and use gesso.

 

This gilding manual will take the mystery out of these processes and make available all the simple materials and equipment needed to carry them out successfully.
