[Scriptoris] Gold leaf questions

[lisabetta/kimberly]

I haven't done a lot with it but I enjoy working with 22k German gold patent
( gold leaf with the paper on the front. ) I was lucky and got $300 worth of
it for only 45 bucks
although one of my guild members prefers working with renaissance foil. I
don't care for it because it is tin and will tarnish..
I get by with just the size, and a sturdy brush...
if you want I can bring some loaner stuff to 12th night and you can play :)

hugs bett
(p.s) if west gate gets the bid for Kingdom h & S master Geoff has offered
to teach a gold leaf class, )
