Christmas is coming...

am I allowed to say that? I have to admit that I'm not a fan of tinsel at Christmas, but I think my house can sometimes look a little bare and less than festive. I am always trying to come up with something more personal to add to my collection, and having decided that I would try my hand at Verre Églomisé (glass gilding), chose a reindeer to get me started.



I was surprised how easy it was after reading how tricky gold leaf can be to use, and although I used imitation gold leaf which is thicker it was still so easy to tear.

This is where I bought the kit if you're interested in having a go: Gold Leaf Supplies

Thanks for looking
