Bought my first pack of gold leaf. Started watching videos. You are the 4th and so far the only one who.lists your supplies. And you get right into it you! Thank you.
Great video! I was wondering about the piece you showed under resin. Is there a chance for a tutorial of that piece of art including how you applied the resin? If not, would you mind leaving a description listing the main information needed? Lastly, do you sell your artwork and did you already sell the piece you showed? I've never asked anybody on here that question, but I was just struck instantly by how awesome it is. I absolutely love it! ✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨
So I have been told Elmer's glue could work also. But I'm a little confused with either one. You say let dry until tacky. How long is that? Or does it stay tacky even when fully dry overnight?
Hi, I haven't tried Elmer's glue, so I'm not sure, maybe try waiting 5 or 10 minutes and checking how it feels. You want the glue to still be a bit sticky but not totally wet, so I think leaving it overnight would be too long!
I love listening to you say, "Gold Leaf" 😅. It was a really helpfully video and thank you for the product suggestions. Is there any reason why this adhesive wouldn't work for applying gold leaf to a stained glass piece?
Are those pieces you showed in the video on watercolor paper? Also is the painting you showed with the resin done on canvas? I love how it looked so thick like a piece of glass. I'd love to know, can you can get that look on cardstock, mixed media paper, or watercolor paper? 😃
Yes it´s a watercolor paper! The painting is done a wooden art board like all of my resin art! You could experiment with other surfaces but it needs to be a solid support otherwise it will warp or sag with the weight of the resin ( and the resin would soak through any thin porous materials like paper). But if you mount paper to a wooden board then it should work fine!
Hi, Stephen. That sounds like a good thing to try. I was wondering if you found masking tape too sticky if Washi tape would work? Of course depending on the type it might not be sticky enough. It's actually been a long time since I've used Masking tape, I usually use painters tape for crafting so maybe I'm picturing Masking tape as being more sticky than it is. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it in case you experiment with the tape. I'm also very curious to know the outcome. Have a great day/night!
Thanks for your clear explanation of both methods! How much pebeo glue do you think you need for one pack of pebeo gold leaf? I'm going to order 3 packs, how many tubes do you think I need?
