Applying Art Gilt to my bibles for the first time.

[@SM-JIL]

That Schuyler!!! OHHHHH my my!!!! Now you have to learn and show us to change the ribbons :) Yes, I agree - I think that it's important to have a great gilding to start with.

[@Buzznee8]

I did this to my travel Bible. I love it. I choose green color 💚💚💚

[@judyelliott3858]

Distress Oxide and Distress Ink are not waterproof, even when dry. So any drop of liquid will cause the ink to move and leave spots. For waterproof ink use Archival, Stazon or Versa Fine..

[@catwoods5499]

They gold or silver gilding is not water proof either... so I didn't care if it was or not. Tomorrow I'm going to the craft store to see what all they have there. I'll check out the archival and others you have shared. But...but if they don't have them in the colors I want I'll stick with these from Tim Holtz. I never let my bibles around food or drinks. Something my cat's will jump up onto my desk after drinking form their water bowls that has left little dots too. 😏 not a fan but it's a memory I have of them & that moment. Thank you for sharing I forgot to mention it in this video. But I wasn't trying to teach you all how I to do it I was only sharing what I did. 😃🤭this is why I appreciate when others share what they have learned too. This is sure a wonderful community we have here on KZbin 💜✝️💜

Hi Cat, I love the purple! I'm going to get some and do a couple of my bibles, for sure. Now, if you can colour your pages this well I am sure you can change your ribbons. I have just done a video on it, step by step, in photos I took while I changed three in my Allan's Brevier Clarendon, if you're interested. I've changed ribbons in three bibles so far and I love them, because what was in them was pretty bad, (you know, short and scrawny) even in high end bibles.

[@Tzuriah]

Hi Cat! What a great idea!!! I don’t have the oxides but I do have the regular distress ink pads and several archival (waterproof) ones......... hmmmmm, now you have me thinking!!! I successfully changed out the ribbon in one of my bibles. The one it had was scimpy, narrow, and one side only satin. The ribbons I chose were 3/8” and double sided. If you can’t find purple ones locally, check online. I got mine on ebay. Anyway, there are many ‘how-to’ videos here on KZbin. I suggest watching all of them! ; )

[@jrm2716]

Wow love this. I want do all my books, including my Bibles. And purple is my favorite color. The ribbons can be dyed, if you really don't like them. Try a bit of the ink on the ends, you could probably lighten the ink if you don't like it. Tfs

[@stevengoh5723]

Hi Cat .. Im trying to change the color of an allan bible.. I want to take off the Red edge and put on a Green edge.. taking off the red edge is got me stumped ..what can i use besides a clamp some small cutting boards and some kind of light sand paper.. would you ever attempt this ? !!! The Brave one ... Oh im going to practice on a cheap bible first .. any advice ,,you can give??

[@catwoods5499]

I had a purple PSQ with blue Art Gilt and I didn't remove it when I just added the purple color right on top of it. Just add the green on top. I'm sure it's going to have be a bit of a darker green and not like a lime or grass color green.

[@cristinad1907]

They look so amazing! I wonder if u could just dye the ribbons? They would look amazing also I think in differnt colors like 🌈 effect blended into each other.sooo darn cute. Great work cat! ❤u sis 💖

Ok Cat I have a question. (And I will learn the answer soon because I am going to try it) I bought some red gold archival ink it hopes it might cover some scratches. Is there any chance that will work?

[@catwoods5499]

Nope unfortunately it won't I wish it did. You can always have it regilded. I recommend this website. But this is the only way to get those scratches out. I haven't tried it myself yet but I can't wait too bookgilding.com/

What What What Wow 😲

[@BibleLovingLutheran]

Great job

[@jasmineRN320]

Hi I wanted to give an update I received the ink and I was able to fix the 2 water spots on my guilding . It actually looks Sooooo much more prettier than before it’s brighter and has an ombré effect ( what I picked up from your other video ) it is gorgeous and couldn’t be happier !!!

[@catwoods5499]

So did it have gold or silver? And you could fix part too that or just the color underneath it of the art gilt? I haven't tried it yet I only have one Bible with a little water spot but I don't have the right color blue ink yet!

[@jasmineRN320]

@@catwoods5499 it was the color underneath the guilding sorry , I didn’t describe it correctly . I have silver guilding (red under silver ) with the Slate NIV quentel . The red is really bright now instead of like a faint pink and I decided to give it the ombré effect . I didn’t think it was possible to be more obsessed with my Bible but I am in love . Like you I have many Bibles / versions but this is “the one “ .. the two water spots were faint but it bothered me being I had the Bible less than a week ! Lol .. I do want to get a purple psq now for travel . I have a slate esv psq .. But I love what you did with that purple psq ! Wowzers

[@catwoods5499]

So when u added the red ink to cover up the water spots do you see the spot at all? I had a few little spots on my TN single Column Reference Bible but I can still kinda see it when I have it close and a bit more whenever it's open. So if you learned something new.... please.... do help me out. I hate these little mark too. My eyes are always drawn to it

[@jasmineRN320]

@@catwoods5499 you can see it a liiiiitle bit but you would have to try to see it . My eyes were drawn more to the disparity between the light pink and almost white water Mark it created vs the dark pink and red contrast .. I hope that makes sense lololol !!! And I just realized I’m really talking to another Bible geek and it’s refreshing . We really Do have our own world lololol !!

[@catwoods5499]

I know exactly what mean. Whenever I get a chance to talk about Bibles I'm totally jumping at that opportunity 🤣 I 100% agree with you the spot is less noticeable when you add a darker color. You have to really pay attention or know where it's at. And I gotta ask you what color ombre did you do. I am on the hunt for a purple archival ink so I can do a purple and pink ombre look as you know I have the red and black which don't get me wrong I absolutely love. But you know I'm Cat and I gotta have my bright color too 😻

Would you be able to multiple colors, say for example Old Testament one color and New Testament another?

I just done my mini Holman Bible in pink but used the distress ink not oxide I love it but I think it will need another coat or two but it's took most of the gliting away have I done it wrong or does it depend on the bibles you use ?

[@catwoods5499]

Did you swipe one directions only. There are YT videos I watched too at the beginning that suggested this didn't matter but it definitely does. Because you will literally remove the gilding especially if it's on a cheaper Bible

[@plannerfunandinspirationwithme]

That's pretty cool.

[@WhereWhoMe]

Just be careful, because the distress line is water-reactive! Distress is just the name of the line. You can do a lot of fun things with those inks. And I never would have thought to use distress inks like this. Though I wonder if the regular distress ink can be used instead of the oxide line. Thank you for the quick demonstration. :)

[@catwoods5499]

There is a company that can touch up the gold or silver gilding bookgilding.com/

[@floofycatz]

I live with a panther too :) They're sweet awesome kitties. Question: was the ink pad itself like a hard block or was it a pad that was soaked with ink?

It's a hard block you have to press a few times before the ink will show

Thank you, I have Archival Ink and their ink blocks are similar

Any idea how to remove it? I have a Schuyler that's pink and I hate it!

[@catwoods5499]

What color do you want it? If it's a darker color you don't have to take it off. You only have to add it on top. The best way I've noticed how to remove gilding is listen to some other videos when applying it 🤣 they say it doesn't matter how you add the ink to the pages. Well that's a lie you go against it and it will cause the art Gilt to start stringing off 😮 but...but I've learned after the 4th Bible and 3 journal what works best

[@snikpmotak]

@@catwoods5499 that's a good idea. I think my only option would be to go with dark red. Could you recommend a good place to get what I need to do it?

That's not your only option you go blue black orange red yes... I don't remember what color your Bible was. I purchased my inks from Amazon and the sponges from Walmart
