Introduction to Water Gilding
By: Marty Horowitz and Lou Tilmount
This book discusses the techniques of water gilding for
picture frames. It covers a wide range of techniques from the very
beginning steps of applying gesso and rabbit skin glue to the final
steps of a patina. This book is full of visual description: every page
has at least one photograph. Additionally, for era-sensitive pieces, it
has a chapter covering Distressing & Antiquing and Contemporary Frames.
37 pages.

About Ribbon Leaf |
|

Ribbon Gold
Leaf is
manufactured
by placing 4
1/8" square
leaves onto
a continuous
length of
waxed paper
with a 2mm
overlap. The
rolled paper
and the
cardboard
core are
equal in
width and
the gold
leaf is
placed
inside the
edge of the
paper.
Ribbon Leaf
can be
trimmed to
any size
required.
When
trimmed, the
gold leaf
and paper
are cut to
produce a
clean edge
of gold and
paper of the
exact width.
