The gold sheet has a few real advantages before a metal paint which is alternative. Many of these paints will strengthen a sunlight, some of them rather quickly If you cannot receive a professional paint of authors of a sign, the bright gold paint will change on colour more as old sad copper.
Any make the artist there will enjoy a call uprating an old sign of the house, it is ideal small project to test gilding art.
At first you will require several things.:
1. A small brush of inch 1/4,
2. The big 1-inch soft brush to put aside a dust.
3. The knife of apartment Sharp, the old lunch knife aggravated on the ground stone, will make.
4. The book 22ct gold sheet on transfer back.
5. Scissors Sharp.
6. Gilders the yellow 30-minute size.
As the project of a sign of the house is intended, as the small textbook for beginners tests, so spend so a few money as far as possible, manage to manage that you already have, you can always buy appropriate tools if you enjoy this effort.
Gold is sold in books, with usually 25 pages of gold sheet. It or is sold as the loose leaf or with transfer support. The loose leaf is heavier to address, and you will spend for nothing a lot of gold. So buy the book of sheet of gold of transfer, and a small bottle of the size gilders from the appropriate supplier of gilding (find one on a network), you can be suprised at reasonable cost. Do not worry feigned gold sheet from exemplary shops, he does not address as real gold and, probably, has no resistance to an inclination which has original gold sheet.
About the size Gilders: the size Gilders - a plaster to attach gold. The size is sold with factors of several times, these 30 minutes in this case concern time between podrisovyvaniem the size and application of Gold sheet. Though actual time to obrabatyvaemosti is sold as the 30-minute size will vary depending on the surrounding temperature. The size is ready the moment, which it is sticky to concern, you have a short window of time to apply Gold so to be patient and to make some letters for once.
Try some run of practice to receive a few experience, to see, whether you can find, that the old part of the cut out wood or a stone, probably structure of a photo which refuse, or one of those small decorative plastic flowerpots, remembers, that you only should practise processing and settlement to gold sheet in clumsy forms.
Gold processing: sheet of gold of transfer - gold sheet on paper support. Do not try to address with your fingers, instead to address with an edge of an old stupid knife of a dinner. Reduction with sharp scissors in rectangles, approximately on 50 % big than each letter or number.
Method:
1: Clean an old inscription of a sign so completely as a possible back to an original material. If the body of a sign of the house be drawn, do it before gilding, hold letters and areas that zolotit free from a paint if you can. Allow the drawn dry sign of the house, gilding should be final work.
2. Begin only with one letter or number of your sign of the house, you can make more as your confidence grows.
Draw the size on a surface where you apply gold. Try not sverhnarisovat on the person of a sign of the house, to use a pure fabric, to wipe any surplus.
3: Watch after the size as soon as its contact, dry, you are ready to apply gold. Press gold sheet, besiege for the size, rub firmly your finger or use the smooth tool, the brush handle will make, then will clear far receding paper, leaving new gold in a place.
Some will be inevitable sverhprolitie, but will leave it! Wait, while work has not dried up suddenly then pure of with an edge or a fine damp and dry paper depending on the minor end of a sign of the house.
I hope, that you enjoy this attempt of gilding and if it inspire you to lift gilding as a hobby please informed me! |
