Gilding Again.

Here’s the second piece I made on my training course with the most excellent glass artist Lisa Burkl the other day.

Step 1: Paint a design onto the outside of a clean glass bowl with acrylic pens and paints. Leave it to dry.

Step 2: Cover the painted area thinly with glue (it’s a special one for gilding). Leave it to get tacky.

Step 3: Gently smooth a sheet of gilt over the glued area with a soft brush.

Step 4: Turn it over and go “OOOOOOOHHHHH” 😀
