Beginning with a rather cool transferring technique using laminate sheets the images...we made a collage then sealed the back with gold leaf. Other's used gold leaf pen...I couldn't find mine (no surprise) so I gold-leafed..for real. The small piece shows the back.
Part of the steps involved are cutting doors in our pages. The collage will peek through and the final doors will have closures...if I can find mine. these might not
Testing the peek through look.
My surface is finally looking like I want...I am after a old stucco kind of Italian villa look. I am not done, but I think I am getting there. This is what I worked on the last couple of days when I had a few minutes in-between jobs...which I am headed to now...have a great weekend!
