    Ian, thanks for the video. I couldn't tell you how you transfer the outline of the letters onto the gold. Do you press through the tracing paper? Also, what kind of paint do you use?

      Ed Narvaez Hi Ed, to transfer to the gold, yes I press slightly through the paper. And I use casein paint to paint on the gold.

      @@TheBethlehemIconSchoolOnline Thanks Ian. I have one more question. What tool do you use to outline the design on the halo? Is it a plastic embossing stylus or something else. Also, can you tell me where you bought it. Thanks again! I love your videos.

      @@ednarvaez8565 Thanks! I use a variety of things, even an old ballpoint pen, but not a sharp end but a rounded one. A plastic embossing tool works well, again so long as its not a sharp end. It is the sort you can use for craft embossing card. I think I bought the one I have at the moment on Amazon.
