Members Jason Austin Posted March 2, 2010 Members Report Posted March 2, 2010 Has anybody ever tried gilding leather? Like with the sheets of gold foil you can get. I think it might look nice in background areas. Quote Longhorn Trail Leather Guild
Members ryanf Posted March 4, 2010 Members Report Posted March 4, 2010 Plenty of old leather-bound books were gilded. Here's a website I found a while back showing the process of gilding carved leather -- http://www.alleycats...ther/Gilded.htm Quote
Members amuckart Posted March 4, 2010 Members Report Posted March 4, 2010 Have a look at http://chestofbooks.com/crafts/general/Arts-And-Crafts-Magazine/The-Art-of-Bookbinding-V-Gilding.html and http://www.edenworkshops.com/Gilding_-_A_Free_Step_by_Step_Guide_to_Gilding_on_leather.html They deal with bookbinding, but the principles are the same.
