Interesting technique! Definitely took some artistic ability even though you had a model to work from. Well done! Thanks for sharing!

Gonna need a bigger house soon Paul. Excellent vid. Cheers.

Cheers Ian! I should really start selling stuff because it’s getting mighty cramped :D

Great work Paul. I managed to acquire a box of old fashioned carbon paper as used to make duplicates on typewriters. It's probably difficult to get now but it's ideal for transferring images.

@happygilder 2 года назад

Cheers Mark! That sounds like a much nicer way of transferring the image :)

@stixstudios3380 2 года назад

Hi Mark. Small World - I subscribed to your channel a while back regarding anodizing aluminium. It's amazing how things are connected. Cheers.

@peacechannel1317 2 года назад

very well done, I think you have to be really good artist to do such work. I believe have to learn first how to use different pencil techniques to grey and shedding. thank you so much very good job and thanks for sharing. Aaseef

To reproduce complex drawings you can use screen printing 😉

@kingrat5564 2 года назад

Very nice!! Cool project and it turned out great!! I like how you emphasized on cleaning the glass really thoroughly. This is so true. I’m working on a mirror gilded project now and didn’t clean the glass good enough 🤦‍♂️. Gonna just power on through and consider it a more rustic look😂. Would you have a glass cleaner in mind for us over in the USA? I tried looking up the Pierre d’argent but couldn’t seem to find it

@happygilder 2 года назад

Thanks very much! I would recommend Bon Ami if you can't get the Pierre d'argent. I've been told it's easier to source in the US :)

@stixstudios3380 2 года назад

Many moons ago I dabbled in Leadlighting. We used "Whiting Powder" to clean the glass - it's calcium carbonate as far as I know. I wonder if this would work?

@kingrat5564 2 года назад

Hi Happy Guilder can you tell me where i might be able to get the Mica Chips from to mx with the HF acid cheers gerry

@happygilder 2 года назад

Hi Gerry, I bought it from LKAB Minerals. I use the 1700 which is the coarsest

@cornutkrypto8963 4 месяца назад

I know this is late but have you tried gold leaf and cutting the leaf with your laser? then enamel paint the negative? Just a thought. love your work

@happygilder 4 месяца назад

I haven't tried it but I think it would work because I use it to etch mirrors which are the same in principle

@indrenoctum Год назад

Great work as always! I was wondering if that technique would be possible using genuine platinum leaf instead of gold? Does gilding process with platinum leaf differ anyhow? I've tried to apply platinum leaf on engraved, etched and plain glass (for testing purpose), painted those areas with back up black, but still got some areas peeled of... :( Do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem?

@happygilder Год назад

Thanks very much!! Unfortunately I’ve never used platinum so I can’t help. However there are nearly 900 people in the Facebook group so I reckon you’d get an answer on there :)

@indrenoctum Год назад

Thank you anyway. I'll try to reach out someone regarding this question on FB then. :)

very talented guy!! anyone know what the tool is that Paul uses to draw into the gold leaf?

What did he put on the glass before the gold leaf

@anullhandle 2 года назад

Water size. Gelatin and water.

@sjh4282 2 года назад

what is the clear liquid that you applied to the glass called?epoxy?i have the white adhesive that dries clear and stays tacky but that didnt work well.thank you

@happygilder 2 года назад

Hi, the mix is called 'size'. It's a mixture of distilled water & leaf gelatine. There's a detailed instruction on how to make it in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cdJaB7OGvb8.html

@sjh4282 2 года назад

@@happygilder thank you for your reply.i had almost figured it out but now i know for sure.can this be home made then?

@happygilder 2 года назад

@@sjh4282 it certainly can. You just need a few gilding tools to apply the gold leaf. The video I released just before this one has details and links to the tools I use :)
