Well, it a long ways from Winslow Arizona. It’s been awhile too. While my typical framing business has been suprisingly slow these days I’ve been busy laying some gold for samples of different techniques in gilding and lettering styles. I’ve really been enjoying this time to get caught up on a number of things. Here is an example of my latest…
Hard to see the burnished reflection of the gold in this shot. It looks like a matte gilding but trust me, it is watergilded bright. Again 23kt gold gilded in reverse on the glass with a black outline.
Although the numbers don’t show up as well in this photo, the bright reflective properties of the gold are more apparent.
I’ve been getting these sample photos together because after Christmass I’m taking this lettering, painted and gilded, on the road to businesses in the area. I’ve become absolutely infatuated with this and lovin’ it.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
