In the process of making a reproduction of a medieval manuscript, I polish gold leaf. If you are interested in learning how to do raised gilding, I recommend you contact Jerry Tresser through http://www.jtresser.com/GOLDBLOG.html and watch his YouTube videos.
that looks like a LOT of work! i commend your patience!

Morgan, I was just curious if the gesso you were using on this manuscript was reconstituted from the small batch I sent you or was this from the batch that you made..
Regardless, it appears nicely done. Nothing gives me more pleasure then to see what can be accomplished when everything works in harmony... JERRY TRESSER
