This unfinished illuminated page by Annie Moring shows the use of shell gold, flat gold leaf and raised gold leaf.
The crest at the top of the page is painted with shell gold, the gold letters are raised gold leaf and the gold in the border is flat gold leaf. The border design is painted in Designer's Gouache.
There is a video on our YouTube channel of a demonstration in class of how to use gold leaf - the link to YouTube is to the right of this post.
