Since the last scan, I've

• done the top margin

• burnished the gold a little.
  

There wasn't much point in doing much burnishing. I made a big, big mistake when doing the gilding. There were a lot of holes and so I did a 'patch' job with the acrylic gesso after laying the first layer of gold. The new layer of gesso stuck. Additional gold leaf didn't. Ouch - what a lesson.

Anyway - here 'tis :-)


If I don't sound very bouncy - I had bugger all sleep last night. I'm bouncy!

Now ..... where should I put it up? I desperately need more wall space!
