We worked late into the night to keep up with the drying times of the glue (size).  But finish our commitment, we did, and closed up shop to get a quick snack before turning in.  Coated from head to toe with gold flakes, we got some interesting looks from the clerks and patrons of a convenience store we stopped at on the way home!

We got a little carried away with the volume of pictures we posted for this entry, but they are fun and beautiful and we hope you enjoy all of them.  More pictures and posts about this gilding project are on their way!
