I have just had to stock up on supplies so I paid a visit to the art shop Cornelissen, (which I have mentioned previously on this blog). I think the King Tutankhamun exhibition has had rather an impact on me and I have become more than preoccupied with gold. So amongst other things I bought real gold leaf, imitation gold leaf, gold paint and some oil paints so I can paint on top of the gold leaf! I haven't used gold leaf before, but will be sure to show my attempts on here once done.
Even the outfit I wore to go out and buy the gilding items was blue and gold, complete with my gold scarab ear-rings from the exhibition and Egyptian style shoes. Oh dear, it probably won't be long before I'm looking like one of these figures!
