The 100 Days Project

One image a day for 100 days

Day One

I have started adding gold and silver embellishments onto the copy images. I am getting the patterns from Mick's clothing and Stones albums

Amy Winehouse using 24Kt gold leaf

This is using 24Kt gold leaf. Such fun to use. It turns into dust when it is brushed. It is much thinner than imitation gold. The cost is approximately 20 times more expensive !!

Printing onto gold leaf

I have started to experiment with printing straight onto the gold leaf instead of using decals. I use an ink jet medium first. The first one I printed worked really well but it took two weeks to dry and it is still very delicate so will not be any good for a boxed set of images. It will need to be framed and never touched. The second time I tried to print the printer (Epsom 2400) kept spitting out the paper. It too approximately 30 times of re-feeding the paper before it would print. I love the quality of the image it produces on the gold. It is much more embedded into the gold and little idiosyncrasies appear in the image as is dries which I really like. It reminds me more and more of a Daguerreotype

Nine Golden drawings

I have made nine drawings. I have since added a line border

Golden Decals

This is my collection of golden decals so far. I am quite happy with them
