Hello Ruth! what are your thoughts on the reasons behind "scratches" or dark marks (not sure how else to describe them) left after passing your burnisher over an area on an antique pîece that has been regilded?
@@m.m.375 it's mostly to do with the bole, timing and prep. I go into some details about this in my online water gilding course ruthtappin-gildingcourses.thinkific.com/
@ okay thank you!!!
I'm wondering if you'd consider selling a mold of one of your molds? I'm a glassblower, and I think it would be neat to cast them in glass.
@@unsettled6247 interesting, would the mould need to be plaster?
@RuthTappinGilder yes, plaster would work! I'd then make a 50/50 mix of plaster and silica.
Hi Ruth, I am binge watching your very helpful videos and am wondering why some of the frame is water gilded and some is oil gilded. Also, would you recommend using a water based size or oil based size for gilding an interior wall? Thank you.
@@NikitaCoulombe thanks for watching 😊 The frames are gilded in both to give contrast and depth. The problem with acrylic size is it never truly drys it stays tacky even with the gold on for a long time. Have a look at this video th-cam.com/video/SFd1hqRYI3o/w-d-xo.html
@ ah ok, thank you, and thank you for taking the time. I think I confused the acrylic gilding size with the gilding water that you make with rabbit skin glue. Online most sources say to prep a wall with water based size.
Thank you ruth
Ruth, Will painters tape remove dried water gilding?
@@paintstorm1 auction houses put stickers on the gilding sometimes instead of the glass, that can remove the gilding. I wouldn't recommend it unless you de-stick it first on clothing. You can paint strip off paint and oil gilding from water gilding.
Hello Ruth, first off, thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge, your page is a treasure trove of information, not only did I learn a lot from watching your videos, but it's a real pleasure! ❤ I have a question. I am a fine art painter, and work with oil paints. I presume it would be best to work with oil size if I want to apply gold leaf on top of layers that are already painted. My question is: If I have already gessoed (with store-bought acrylic gesso) a wooden panel and painted at least one layer with oil paint, can I apply oil-based gold size directly? Also, is it possible to do water gilding on top of such a surface? Or will it not adhere because the paint underneath is oil-based? Thank you very much!
@@TheRikaMari you should be ok with oil size on the paint but if it drys too fast then seal it first. You can't water gild on an oil painting. What you could do is use traditional gesso on a board, bole and water gild then paint on top. I go in depth with water gilding on boards in my online water gilding course ruthtappin-gildingcourses.thinkific.com/
@@RuthTappinGilder Thank you kindly for the advice!
Thank you Ruth, very well done, simple and very efficient
Thank You for this video. What is the difference between using water/alcohol/hide glue mix, verses sizing glues that take time to tack? 🙏🚂🎼🌹🎶🎵⚕️🛠️~C< 3)>>-Z->}
@@zusclhz you can burnish water gilding. Which you can't do on oil gilding. Frames are gilded with both to give contrast and depth.
@RuthTappinGilder Infinite Thanks🙏 i am studying to get into guilding. I have only seen turned and wrinkled finishes, all mirror finishes seemed to be done by laying perfectly flat in reverse glass. Do you have a video that covers burnishing?
@zusclhz I've got an online water gilding course which goes in depth on all the water gilding processes including burning ruthtappin-gildingcourses.thinkific.com/ I'm currently filming the oil gilding course
@@RuthTappinGilder 🙏🎵🎶
Beautiful. Thank you. Is there anything that can be done to clean existing gold leaf over and above dusting? I have a very old Spanish? style mirror, cruciform in shape, with a gold leafed frame that is well, just plain dirty looking. Can you give me any clues what to do? Thank you.
@@johnmcglynn4102 thanks 😊 To clean gold I use Vulpex.
I love all of your amazing work. I just wanted to know how you make the gesso putty?
What a creative wave you are going to begin with the ideas people will come up with pairing paper mache and gilding!
It is such a pleasure to watch someone who does everything with a high standard of work. I do think the paw print is wonderful and wish I had done that for my dog. I buried my cat, Emma, two years ago, and I covered the mound with a mosaic of broken pottery last summer. Luna was very elegant, wasn't she?
Ruth, that was so interesting, thee way that the frame was sanded. I'm enjoying learning about these techniques. It is an art form that is an entire new world of design for me.
I like this very much! I love the patterns and color on old china and pottery.
Wish I had watched this b4 attempting gilding Thankyou will be following your advice for my project going forward
You said "they're wrong, they're bad, they're very ugly" 😂 tell us how you really feel. 😆

Meraviglia brava ruth
Как же я рада, что нашла Ваш канал!!! Ура!!!

Восторг!!!❤
Use a corset while working to help support your back. Congratulations, you have a beautiful workshop.
What did you varnish it with to keep the gold from getting damaged and to make it waterproof?
@@peterpeter5409 the gold is the protection.
@@RuthTappinGilder didn't have to varnish with anything?
@peterpeter5409 no, as long as you have no holes in the gilding the gold protects the metal from the weather.
@@RuthTappinGilder 👍
Brava ruth
You are a master, the detail scraping out those etching lines alone, wow! Good to know about the "PEEL AWAY" paint remover system with paper ruining the compo. Cheers from across the pond
Hello there, can you wear a mask when your gilding , so as not to blow it around with your breatb. A stupid question probably😅
@@isell7547 not really, you need your breth to control the gold. It's fine if you're not talking to the camera 🙂
Grande ruth
Hello! I just opened a container of the Charbonnel Gilder's Clay and found mold/fungus growing on the paper inside the lid. I've thrown the paper out, but should I add some hydrogen peroxide to sit on top of the clay? What would your advice be? Would bole made with this contaminated clay lead to problems down the road?
@@maxlmlllan2604 I wouldn't put anything in the bole. I have one pot that gets mouldy i scrape of the mould and use the bole underneath. I should probably through it away but it's a big pot and cost a lot.
Thank you for the reply! I will just be careful and keep an eye on it then!
just love what you do I wish I could visit England to visit your shop and do a class with you but Australia is a long way , thank you for sharing
By pure luck I found your site.I watched you fixing Drew Pritchard and others frames and mirrors.Just have to say that you are amazing and the skill and the patience you have in restoring things is pure talent .You are a true ARTIST !
@@claudiucorneliu8375 thank you 😊
What a beautiful project. Weimaraners are perfect, especially the old ones. I am sorry for your loss which I know will still be lingering even though you filmed this 2 years ago. They never give back the piece of your heart they have stolen. Now to see if I can make a casting from the somewhat haphazard mould of my dearly departed weims last paw print. I came for the gilding knowledge and stayed for the Luna memento mori.
Mercury seems to have a special nose for gold. It always finds it.
Great video Ruth. Are you using the vulpex neat or mixed with a spirit solvent? I may have missed this information somewhere. Thank you
@@ruthschambers I'm using it neat. You can dilute it down with water to 6-1
Dear Ruth, I really loved the lesson, it was wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, I profoundly admire your job. <3
You are wonderful! Your enthusiasm for water gilding really shines - no, sparkles! I can relate to what you were saying at the end; I too had to collect bits and pieces of knowledge from different people. My first instructor was an expert gilder but there were some things she omitted or neglected to show; perhaps, on purpose. Luckily, there were other people who shared their know-how with me. Now, I occasionally teach some people how to water gild, and their first piece is 10 times better than what my first 10 pieces were. I often think that books and teachers describe and show what to do but neglect to tell what NOT to do.
hi, I made a versatile brush. I use it for gilding, claying, painting. I am a gilder-restorer. but my brush is good for amateur and professional art painters as well. This is a flat mixed squirrel hair brush. watercolour brush. My brush is a little longer, with more hair. There is nothing similar on the market. are you interested?
You are amazing!!!! You introduced me in the workd of Gliding and make me to love this technique! I wish I was in the UK to be closer to you. ❤❤❤
Everything is clear except how compo is made? The biggest mystery so far
@@FST2375 you can buy compo from www.goldleafsupplies.co.uk/gilders-compo/
Well done, Ruth! Awesome content!
@@FST2375 thank you 😊
So nice to see you back Ruth :) Thanks for sharing your day with us!
Sei grande ruth lavoro meraviglioso complimenti
Would there be an advantage to starting the leaf gilding at the bottom and go up? This will give a water shielding like shingles. The last ones up top folded over to both sides. It might last significantly longer ?
@@LarryTait1 would be great if it could work like that. There would be nothing sticking the over lapping gold leaf down, as the leaf underneath has covered the oil size.
Love your videos:) will you be doing any on the finishing steps? (shellac/bitumen)
GREAT JOB.
@@angeltravelworld7668 thank you 😊
Love the visual, very helpful. Does this mean reverse glass water gilding is actually a modified oil gild???
@@AcornMurals Thanks 😊 glass gilding is usually water with gelatin, so although it looks like the same thing it's different.

Ruth, what strength is the alcohol? Does it matter.?
@@thechameleon344 I use 99.9% some of the gilding books say you can use any clear alcohol like vodka. I prefer using the clean pure alcohol.
The ratio depends on what type of hide glue you have, and how strong it is, some glues are heavier than others, and this will change the ratio as the glue weight will be different due to the amount of water within them. Are you making a full strength glue or a 1 to 20 part glue ratio? We have no clue. Then you use that tiny weeny brush to paint a whole frame? Huh. Telling.
@@chrisgriffith1573 The bloom strenth of the rabbit skin glue is 340 the ratio is 8-1. You can use a bigger brush on flat areas. But on frames you want more control of how much gesso you are putting on so as to reduce the amount of sanding needed.
what type of gesso are you using for filling near the end?
@@isiscarey its gesso putty. I will be making a video about how to make for the online courses.
Incredibile bravissima
😊
