Thank you very much Ruth for freely sharing so much of your knowledge on framing and gilding. Through watching your detailed videos over the past few years, you've helped me build my own gilded frames from scratch for my paintings. Before I had discovered your channel, building anything more ornate than a very basic float frame seemed completely out of reach. I've substituted some of the materials used for convenience sake (such as using paper clay instead of compo for the ornamentation), but the underlying process of creating a frame remains exactly the same as you've demonstrated. Thank you once again.
Beautifully done. I hope you keep uploading videos, as I think you will do very well seeing as you are well known from TV. Unlike the rest of us banging are heads against a wall trying to get a foot in the door. Can't wait for the next video.
Interesting to see all the competent work that goes into such a restoration. Love it! (also laughing about the fact that my eyes are so near sighted that where you put you glasses on to do the detail work, I would be taking mine of to do the same (as I do when embroidering tiny stitches😅)
Ruth, your videos always make my day and I've had an excellent time learning from you and restoring my own bits and pieces at home. I'm very excited for the aging video on your course. When do you think we may be able to buy it? - I know you have a lot on, so I hope you get some well-deserved down-time too. Thank you for being a beacon of such a treasured art.
@@qwertyx333 thank you 😊. I'm just doing the last bit of filming for the water gilding course. It should be ready in a few weeks. 🤞 for the beginning of September.
A great job there Ruth and if only it was that quick watching the speeded up section!Im most interested in your particular way of toning or aging and distressing the gold so it looks as though I will have to pay!
Dear Ruth, really enjoy your video's. I have several old(er) frames of which it is unclear if gold paint has been used or that they are gilded. Can you advise me on a method how to figure it out? Thanks in advance.
I’m really enjoying watching these videos. Thank you for sharing your process. Could I ask what you use to make the moulds, I need to cast some decorative trim on a furniture piece and there are so many products out that that I’m finding it confusing. The two part product you use in this video looks ideal.
Hi Ruth, amazing two part series! Just a quick note that the 'Buy compo' link in your description got cut off and doesn't work. I found it easily enough by searching that site, but thought you might want to know.
Thanks again for a great demo. Your videos are so informative, a wealth of knowledge to us dabbling in this hobby. If I may ask, how is the gesso putty made? Thank you again...keep well.
@@johnbarnette3916 working 😁 need to earn a living. It takes a lot of time to film and edit these videos. Wish I could make them more often. Perhaps it the online gilding courses sell well i can.
