Lee, The panel was made as a test for my self to explore the style I so much love, that is mainly to be seen in and around Paris. This style of gilded glass facades for bakeries and butcheries from around 1840-1920 is typical a style I have only seen in France. As some of the forum members know the ...

I hope I will be able to see the museum once....
Looks very good and reading all the special collections, it is definatly a must.

Just finished one of my French styled panels today. Here you can see some photo's of the results" Schitterend on facebook, french project Painted the illustration by hand this time, because I did not want the hassle this time :wink: Never painted an illustration before, so I hope it looks ok. E...

Where is the like button? I don't mind playing "devil's advocate". The critic actually makes some perceptive observations on the album covers. He is reacting to the images and explaining his impression. All of us react to art, any kind of art, but being able to articulate that reaction is ...

I like it.
Whish I could be there live to enjoy the sight of you painting it.
March 2013, how incredible, what a live.

Danny, I want to react on your latest post, the others and mine. When I first saw the post of Dave and looked at the clip I thought great, so I spontaniously posted: "Very Cool!". After reading everyones thoughts, emotions and feelings about the content and critisism of the movie, I think ...

That is very genorous of you. Thank you for the excelent step by step.

I like to help people who bite in their problems and do not let loose untill they have the solution.

Recently I made a facebook page about the work I make in the crafts like gilding, glass work, painting etc. Sometimes it is too much work to post on my own website, hand lettering forum etc. and some nice things will be missed. If you want to be informed, just hit this link, like the page and you wi...

Very cool!

That is magnificent. How great is that?
The colors really... well... color it, as the street is alive...
Thanks for the link.

What a beautifull movie Roderick.
Finally saw your pieces in detail and they are even more impressive then I thought.
Happy for you.

Ismael, I just found a great tool for you. You have mentioned that you do not trust your spraygun due to oil and water conteminations. Therefore you use the handguns etc. which are just for small stuff. If you want to professionalize the compressed vair easily you can use this tool:] http://www.auto...

I think both of them were inns. I must say the standard brackets look very nice, but the hand made wrought iron brackets with the wineleaves and grapes al tangled in a web of vines are so much more beautifull. Unfortunatly they are not made anymore, because again they cost too much... Still Germany ...

Here a few more from the city of Freiburg: Erik

This weekend we had the monday of since it was the birthday celebration of our queen. But instead of partying on a canalboat with lots of girls, beers and very load house music in an orange outfit I went to the South of Germany. You all must know I am a responsible boy who never parties and only do ...

Maybe if you would arange a helping hand next time who keeps the whole bumper wet with water continuesly you have more time to go from the beginning to the end of the bumper and have a complete good finish. It takes some time, your underarms will heart, but i know for sure it could be done in this w...

Hello Pat, At this point I see this promotion film as a gap filler in the digital world. I decided to make this one, just because we did not had one. We have some short video's on youtube, but they were all about gilding etc. So now we are filling the gap for the sign studio by making a new channel ...

Made this promotion video about our firm (in Dutch).

I am happy for you it is going well, but i would really want to see the finished bumper.
My wish is to see the edges of the two phases in silvering.

I will just do some experiments...
Thanks pat.

I was planning on using it as a alternative for my liquid white etching mix. Not for screenprinting, but just as an alternative for the pooring method with a white etching mix. Because I want to eliminate the pooring dilema and possible differences in rimple-effect if not done smoothly. So if I woul...

Does anybody know why glass etching cream is only used for small glass plates or cups? Why is this cream not used for larger panels like 3 feet x 3 feet? Did anybody ever etched glass panels verticaly with this cream? Is there anybody who wants to correspond (maybe in PM, because of the dangers invo...

Larry what do you think?
Should Pat not stop blasting bricks and watching his wheels turn for two decades, but now just throw those bricks out of the window and start cutting glass?

Erik

What about your contamination problem (oil drops - dirty water drops) with your air supply when using the dual headed spray gun?

Erik

What a beautifull collection!
I just shared it on my facebook, so lots more people may enjoy it.

Maybe one could post a few goldleafed signs and some with extra techniques and name them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
