I love bling and just recently I started to experiment with Pebeo gold leaf but I found the tubes were too tiny so I bought a liquid made by Pebeo and some real gold leaf sheets and had fun at my friends house yesterday experimenting with it. So I started with 2 little mini paintings and then when I got home and prepared dinner and cleaned up, I prepared the sizing on the first tree that I did with the template from the Terra skin 2 weeks ago and let it cure for 15 mins and applied the gold leaf. It isn't easy because it practically melts in your hands. I tried ripping some of the sheets to the size of the branches on the tree but it was like piecing a puzzle together so finally I gave up and just applied the sheets to the biggest areas and then gently removed some of the excess and applied it to the other smaller areas. Then with a very soft brush I softened it so that it looked like it had melted to the tree. I may have to go over it again today with a little more for the are...
A little bit of collecting and crafting
