Book Moth Fairyby ~Red--Squirrel

Another small piece like the littlest mushroom. Managed to get all the gold leaf to shine by standing in an awkward position when taking the picture(as it does not scan well at all). I love using gold leaf!

A combination of Arthur Rackham and Brian Froud!

Lovely....I tries liquid gold leaf on one of my ACEO'S the other week and it seems so much darker than loose gold leaf!

Really? Iv'e never tried liquid gold leaf. Thats the stuff they paint fancy frames with isn't it? I love using gold leaf, but it can be very time consuming!

Yes, I believe liquid leaf is mostly used to decorate frames with. i tried using leaf paper once and nearly went bonkers...as the paper flew all over the place everytime I took a breath or a breeze came through the window...
