Some of the work that goes into a gold leaf finish.
I'm working on two pieces at the same time.
Rabbit skin glue being warmed in a water bath.
Applying the first coat of rsg.
First coats of gesso, also warming in water bath.
After several (6-7) coats of gesso.
After drying, sanding cutting and polishing.
After this I'll be sealing and adding color before leafing.
