In the USA, the pineapple is a sign of hospitality. This is a beautiful project, Ruth. All your projects are. I've learned so much watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and art.

[@ginenelafontaine8343]

Yikes, that is beautiful. I know mermaids aren't a classic design in frames, but I was imagining fish scales done with this combination of gold leaf. Really gorgeous, Ruth. It is extremely kind of you to share this with us. Thank you for the incredible gift of your knowledge and experience.

This one is fabulous. Quite a complex process start to finish! It’s nice to get a second look at the punched one- it’s really elegant. Thanks for all this work! Really a gift ☺️

[@KangaCollins]

Yes... love this one. I was just imagining the collection of moulds you must have gathered over the years. Awesome 🥰

[@TheAnniethenigma]

loved watching your restorations on the tv shows, so i'm sooooo excited to find you have a youtube channel, the advent idea is a brilliant way to discover/showcase your skills, but the larger restoration projects are brilliant, thank you

[@hilarywhite2953]

I had no idea before these videos that there were so many different types and colours of leaf.

[@republican4u2nv78]

I could watch and listen to you all day! Your voice is so soothing on top of you being so good at this! You should branch out to asmr on top of this haha :)

[@Rk14-ly2hq]

Hi Ruth! I may have missed your instruction on the 2 colors of gold on the leaves. You mentioned you liked to use button polish instead of shellac cuz it brings out the green. Did you use a green bole on the pineapple leaves?

[@RuthTappinGilder]

Yes around 3:16 in the video. I mixed blue and yellow. Then the button polish makes it darker.

[@Rk14-ly2hq]

Got it...... I thought it was a remixed color you could buy, then I remembered the video on "How to make Bole" ! It's premixed alright! You have to premix it yourself! Oops! Thank you!

[@LegioXXVV]

Hi Ruth, could you recommend a white gold supplier?

[@RuthTappinGilder]

Gold Leaf supplies

My favourite...so far. GLS don't sell the silicone moulding putty .where is it from please

[@RuthTappinGilder]

It's currently out of stock, but this is where I get the putty silicone from www.mbfg.co.uk/polycraft-silicone-putty.html

[@michaelflint4159]

Thanks Ruth. Much appreciated

[@anneichenberger4970]

what is button polish? Loved the pineapple!!

[@RuthTappinGilder]

Button polish is shellac

[@user-or6jc6ld9v]

Gorgeous! I have to ask, what is compo? A type of air dry clay?

[@RuthTappinGilder]

Compo is a traditional material for pressing into moulds. Here is a video about compo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6vGc2OFnbGXors
