<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blooey, post: 926068, member: 12007&quot;]Doing a modern interpretation of &quot;verre eglomise&quot; is fairly simple if the design isn&#039;t too complex - I use tape and matt-black primer to create the design (border) then using a sharp blade, cut away the tape, exposing the sections to be gilded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I plop down some gold leaf, adhering it to the glass with saliva (I know!) and seal the gold in with some more black paint over the back. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even though the black is a &quot;flat&quot; finish, it doesn&#039;t matter as it takes on the shiny surface of the glass. I use black lacquer primer because it sets up in seconds, rather than hours. Looks just like the antique frames when it&#039;s finished. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
