    One of the ways Kacha gets more control when she uses gold leaf is that she cuts those big sheets into narrower strips before she applies them. This cuts down on wastage & makes the strips easier to handle as they’re laid down.
    As you’re following straight lines with the gold leaf, you might find that way would work for you? Just a thought 💭

      Yes I'm well aware as you have seen me do this on my Annie Sloan competition piece and other videos.... I had been in the studio for 11 hours straight and both marty and I were very tired it's hard work making UA-cam videos, and if I'm honest I was hungry and tired because what you don't see is I'm working on 2 other pieces all at the same time. I wanted a worn look so I was extremely happy with the outcome but thanks for your advice.... When it's do. Thing that Warrants the cutting up and precision I will remember your suggestion.

    Watched the tutorial and hopped right over to Facebook marketplace to see what grandfather clocks cost. They are very reasonable. Many have glass fronts to show the clock mechanisms so I was thinking I could do backwards decoupage or just de decoupage on the glass. Thoughts on the better process. I found one all wood but it has a raised panel for the front and I thought our lady might get lost. Of course I could wait to find an all wood front. Oh and the paper is a must ! She is delicious!
