  • Learn how to gild a wooden frame with imitation gold leaf and finish the frame with spray lacquer. Gilding is the centuries-old craft of applying thin sheets of gold, silver or other metals to make frames, furniture or other decorative pieces appear to be made of precious metal. You can apply 23-karat gold leaf, but I use imitation leaf from Mohawk Finishing Products for this project, which costs much less than the genuine precious metal but creates a very realistic look. Gilding does take some practice but the results are definitely worth it. Here's a complete list of gilding and finishing products used in this project.

    That really adds class to the frame! I am always amazed when I visit art shows, how many artist display their hard work in shoddy frames or no frames at all. Great informative video. Thanks Jon.

    I'll be honest. I'm not feeling the gold leaf. But, I still think this was a great video. The tip about having your art ready to roll for the client, fantastic. The process, fantastic. Thank you for making this.

    Hi all, and I posted a gold leaf video a few years ago but felt I should make a new one more on point and with better audio and video quality.

      Gild. A guild is a group with a common business interest, like the Screen Actors Guild. Gilding is applying gold.

    Your previous video where you made the frames was already inspiring and with this video you bring me ideas again.
    Your videos are always a pleasure to watch and I think I am not the only one to see the number of subscribers.
    Jon, keep making such nice videos!

    I used to be a framer for museums in Santa Fe, I love the gold leaf. I’m curious what these frames would go for these days as I did it in early 2000’s

    Jon - Nicely done. A tip for working with gold leaf: If you use a squirrel hair brush to pick up the leaf and apply it to the sizing it will lie very flat and smooth.

    I have a customer wanting gold leaf put on a hand routed Sign I was wondering would water based polycrylic be alright for a top coat over the leaf?

    Nice, thanks for the tutorial, do you ever see an imitation white gold leaf? Saw the real thing and wow- it has such a beautiful warmth.
    Would you paint blue underneath the silver leaf?

    The main reason it's better to buy art that's already framed is because the cost of getting it framed is often more expensive than the art itself. Speaking from experience here.

  • @carlrockaway1696
    @carlrockaway1696 2 роки тому

    how much would you charge for a frame that is 2 feet x 2 feet, the glass is 2 feet x 2 feet x 1/4 inch thick?

  • @qwaqwa1960

    If it's not a gold then you will get patine faster than you think

    Why not real water gilded gold leaf with proper gesso and bole? Art deserves the finest craft, not imitation.

  • @patrickdunn8918

    I like a lot of your work… But not that. Not a fan of the goldleaf stuff at all, and I build lots of frames for artists.
