My husband’s grandmother was a lamp and lampshade designer from the
30’s through the 60’s. We were given all her leftover tablets of
gold and silver leaf. It’s beautiful and look? new. I had hoped I
could use them for keum-boo, but they are too thin and the leaf just
disintegrates. Tried using it on some pieces with gold leaf
adhesive—and it looks too ‘bright’.
Some of the tablets are marked 18 1/2 kt and I am guessing by the
vibrancy of the color the rest are 23 or 24 kt. I could put it on 50
picture frames and still have a bunch left over… Anybody have any
other ideas for using it??? (wallpaper is not an option although
there’s enough to do it… )
