Thank you for your kind words.
Unfortunately, I was with real gold gilding problems. The last time I did it while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, and so quite a long time ago
I tried first (as I've seen you do it?) Gold powder (Shell gold) but it was a very bad effekt, particularly badly looked after Burnishing with agate stone tool
Then I put the gold leaf on mixtion (acrylic), without polishing, and it worked much better. Of course, not as good as gold polished. Maybe in time I'll get to how better to do it on parchment.
It is produced by special mixtion (I'm not sure if correctly is english word mixtion?) from Koelner for manuscript iluminators, reportedly giving effect like polished gold. Have not tried.
