Your painting was great to start with but adding the gold and silver leaf to the painting really made it pop! I love the jewelry with the gold and silver leaf. The ones you made with the crystals are amazing! I really love those!

that torch -xacto knife trick is GENIUS! Thank you!

I'm a resin jewelry artist from Austin, Tx and I'm just starting to use gold leaf in my resin. Thank you for this genuinely pleasant common sense video! Its relaxed vibe is like a quiet afternoon crafting with a friend, which is a sorely needed feeling during this crazy year of quarantines & social distancing. I've liked & subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@ownsacat]

that gold spruced up that picture nicely!

[@miriamperez8444]

Thank you very informative!!

[@galady8632]

I do enjoy adding gold, silver and rose gold foil to my jewelry pcs. Sometimes I use polymer clay to add a specific style, size and color choice to my beads. Thankfully the foil adheres to raw polymer clay without glue. Love the splash of metallic! Great video, useful information as always.

[@CPegRun]

Steve, I must say, you’re a brilliant man!! Someday, soon hopefully, I’ll be able to join your group!! It’s a very, very fair cost for what you give us all! Thank you!!

[@erinwood4968]

What a nice tutorial! Love the round drop pendant with gold leaf 😍

[@diedredunham7383]

I've used silver leaf some and like the way it looks. I didn't know how to handle it with a brush and will do that, THANKS!!

[@dulceteixeira9097]

wow the jewellery looks great. was doing some research on the Gold leaf and did not realise there was glue specifically for it! So thank you so very much for another Great video with a wealth of information. Hope you well :)

[@cindyfinn4845]

I love how gilding enhances projects i love how it transformed yours.

[@cindyfinn4845]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts It b enhances art so much and the jewelry is beautiful as well, no news yet going to dentist in an hour and picking up something that measures my oxygen while I sleep.

[@marijoswick]

I was taught to use a sheet of waxed paper to pick up the gold leaf sheets and put it on the project. Similar to the brushes, the static I guess holds it to put it on the piece. It works pretty well...give it a try..😀

[@jillytiffen6305]

Finally got to hear it Steve after re -starting! Very helpful video! Cheers!👌

[@katieb744]

Another great video Steve. I appreciate you all the way here in Canada!

[@MaxinesCraftynStuff]

Hi Steve! I’ve used gold leaf but I find it fickle to work with but beautiful! I like your tip with the hot exacting knife to remove rough edges!!

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

My wood burning too came with a blade for using it as a hot knife too. Works great.

[@Jeffreysaunt]

Thank you so very much! I enjoyed this!

[@crystalarts9818]

Thanks for the helpful info! I wanted to use some silver leaf for a painting and had some trouble, but this really helped. Now I know how to make it work.

[@staciflanagan1379]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Yours cam came out so much better than mine. I'll keep trying😁

[@abbymcmahon365]

Thanks for the tips Steve. I’ve had an issue finding a good glue! Hopefully I can find the Sims here in the states!

[@carolthorburn2979]

Thank you so much for the tips I purchased 3 colors of these gold silver and copper I have not tried any yet so I'm glad I caught your video 😊 I also love the pendant molds I have several shapes of those as well. Do the leaf flakes not glide to the bottom because it is extremely lightweight? Would you be able to send me the link of the leaf glue? In Canada if possible. I really like your painting the colors are beautiful 😍 many thanks for another great video I really appreciate your tips and you're fun to watch. some people are so boring 😴 I can't watch them too often I go nutters.

[@sethgoyal5206]

Thanks for the great video and techniques! This is the best video that I have seen on the topic so far. A question though, how do you make the little flakes that you put into the resin? Thanks all the way from Canada! 🇨🇦

[@MissEmJayC]

Ooooh pretty! I've got some faux gold/silver/rose leaf in my wishlist. Where did you get the caps for the round moulds please Steve? I was also wondering if you've got any tips for getting rid of lil dents left by bubbles on the top/edges of pieces? Had it happen a few times before I knew to use the cocktail sticks to go around the edges x

[@APLAYER008]

Hi Steve great video 😊 Keep up the experiments! Great work brother! Curious what do you sell your earrings for? Say a medium size eating heart... Thanks Steve 🙏

[@marafuser1883]

Thankyou for sharing

[@theresacarter5990]

Hi Steve, I am so frustrated, my gold leaf never stays suspended in my projects, it always floats to the top which, when I unmold the piece, it is all at the bottom (trinket boxes). I have searched for an answer on how to keep it suspended and you don't seem to have any troubles so I am hoping you have a trick for me. Love your videos, thank you

[@priscillabruce7166]

Hi Steve, thanks so much for your fantastic and informative videos. I’m an absolute newby to this beautiful art form. With the leaf, I found that it sits at the top or bottom rather than blend throughout; this is on the little pendants and a basic square one. I’ve followed your video but I’m a tad disappointed so would you know what I’m doing wrong? Many thanks Priscilla West Australia

[@treenamitchell206]

I would like to see gold foil transfers

[@broncobabe78]

Oh i luv watching your vids i learned so much i just got the lil set of the tube type molds and would luv to try this may i ask what the caps are called for the tops or a link maybe would luv to try them thanks bunches

[@animalwelfareleagueHSV]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I want the caps, too, but I don't see your link. Can you please post it again?

[@KenRichardson-wi6qm]

Hi Steve thanks for this introduction to gold and silver leaf very interesting. I'm thinking of using gold leaf to enhance a previously repaired porcelain figurine in the manner of Japanese 'Kintsugi". My question is this - some of the repair lines on the figurine ars a little uneven running from very thin cracks to a bit wider and also with varying depths. That being the case, in your opinion, would the resin you use be able to act a a filler for these cracks and so smooth out them so that I can add foil over the top? Many thanks

[@shadowcraft5789]

they are all awesome where did you find the caps?

[@juliemurrayart7882]

By rubbing the brush on your hair you are transferring oils and dust from your scalp onto your resin work. It would be difficult to "clean" this off. If you pour a clear coat of resin over this you will be left with spotting. using tweezers to transfer the gold leaf will prevent this from happening.

[@christinenaylor4912]

Hi Steve...loved this video, just what I was looking for :) ... can I just ask please, do you wear a mask at all when you are working with resin?....if so what one do you use please?

[@SuperNoahsmom]

Can you give the link to de-molding those tiny pendants and where u get cap and how they are attached?

[@VeeSwan]

A knife through hot butter :::chuckle:::

[@acethegreat]

Can you advise what mold you use for the cylinder pendant and where you got the tops?

[@nemesea1234]

Can you use the glue on silicone molds or will it damaged the molds or cause a problem with the resin since its water based (Im new to resin)

[@shariweisberg8068]

where do you get the end caps for pendants? It is not in the description. Thanks

[@rebornlifeandlittlegizmo8991]

They look lovely ❤️ thanks for sharing. Do you have a link for the little end cap things for the cylinder shape pieces? x

[@deebeckham4754]

You said you would put the glue name in description below, can't find it.

My gold leaf seem to stain the resin yellow so now my resin cast is not clear but a bit yellowish. Is this normal or should I buy another gold leaf? Thankyou

hey great tips... thanks, sorry to ask, did you paint this first or had you already resin on it and then added the gold leaf? i did this today and it was a disaster.... thanks for any help

Faux gold leaf?

[@batuhaneker9946]

I'll be working on an egg shaped mold, almost the size of a real egg. I kind of grinded the gold leaf into smaller particles, and I'm worried they'll just sink to the bottom of the mold until the resin hardens. Do you think there's anything I can do to avoid this?
