<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 871942, member: 60"]A few years ago, I used silver leaf and "gilded" it onto a glass piece for a friend. First, I used a coat of acrylic or polyurethane to build up a little thickness and to create a smooth shiny surface. I followed the design with a tiny brush. After that dried, I painted oil size over the missing design area with a tiny brush. Once the size came to tack, I used real silver leaf on that area. From a distance, it looked fine, up close, you could see the difference. She has it displayed on a high shelf and you can't tell from that distance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
