Being so totally inspired by Sarah Moffat's trees, I went out and bought what I am hoping will give me some of the same cool effects she has in her paintings. I am testing the Pebeo Mirror Effect Leaves. I bought 12 sheets in each pack at Omer Desseres for $8.99 each and the paste for about $5.49. I bought the silver and the gold to test and may go back and buy the red and green at a later date if I am loving it.
So here is one that I added some of the silver leaf on top of an existing painting done with pouring medium which I felt needed a little more bling. It is hard to see it with all the different colours so hopefully the one below will show up better because I didn't use too many different colours.

Below is one that I just started this morning and I am waiting for the paste to cure before I can put on the mirror effects. It takes approx 2hrs to cure and then you lay the sheet over the painting and apply a little pressure. I used a the bottom of a pen.
after 2 hrs, I applied the mirror effects and there were 2 problems;
1) I should have made my lines a little thicker with the relief paste
2) I should have left the top part of the painting mat black because of the iridescent blue/green , you can hardly make out the tree. I will let is cure a bit more and then apply some thicker lines and redo the mirror effect.
One cool thing that came out is my name that I did at the bottom in relief and then silver mirror effect.
