Gold Leaf - Blossom & Flourish

size: 6"sq
Mentioned in my previous post haven't gilded in years... I used a different needle nose bottle (I think a smaller nib hole but can't tell by eyesight), but my lines are slightly thinner. Still getting the blobs at the junctions... practice...

On Fabriano 1264 paper gilded my design using US ArtQuest Duo adhesive in a needle nose bottle. Gilded with an unknown brand of imitation gold leaf. Painted with various brands of watercolors.
Text written in Dot Lettering style with a mid tone blue Juice Up pen
