Red Ochre Pigment 30g Used to provide a background colour prior to gilding. Mix with de-natured alcohol (methylated spirits) and apply with a brush.
Quality Gold Leaf Supplies. Two Part Crackle Glaze. In my opinion this two part fine crack crackle varnish is the easiest to get good results from. Just make sure that work is not done in cold conditions, and that you apply thin coats.
Price per 50ml bottle of bottom coat and top coat. £13.99
Gilding supplies - Simple Scribe Gold Size. I developed this gold size (adhesive) after using several of the acrylic based gold sizes. The problem they had in my opinion was that they called for the user to apply the gold leaf "at the right time", what the right time was depended in part on your local conditions, humidity etc. The size I supply is ready when it is dry, simple as that. This is because this gold size dries sticky, a very simple idea which has taken all the guesswork out of the gilding process. This size is perfect for gilding onto paper and other flexible surfaces.
50 ml £11.60 includes shipping
200 gsm Acid free Cartridge This is the paper I recommend if you want to make an imitation vellum, for example it is used in the gilded manuscript project This is an acid free archival quality paper which will last for generations. I can supply this paper in sheet form please ask for details. X 10 A4 sheets Price £12.50 includes shipping.
This is the size you need for gilding onto leather. It is easy to apply with a brush or cotton wool pad, you can also leave this glaire once applied and come back weeks later if needed to do the gilding.

Gold leaf
supplies. My gilding knives will last for
generations, they are made from the finest Sheffield
steel.
Gilding Supplies - Shellac
Size. This is the shellac size I use myself
and recommend you try, some people advocate the use of an
oil based size, some prefer a water based size, I use
shellac as it is very easy to prepare and dries quickly,
it can also be used to seal the leaf and imparts a
pleasing colour to the gold leaf.
JHS Gold Size for
leather. This is the new glaire manufactured
by J.Hewit & Sons Ltd in England. It's water based so
poses no problem from fumes unlike the other popular
shellac based glair, BS Glaire.
Gilding supplies - 380g pack of
gilders whiting.
50g of Fine grade pumice
powder.
Imitation gold leaf is
a vastly under rated material, I used it all the time in
our workshops for a variety of things.
It comes in various
shades, the one I sell here is a very close match to 23
carat gold leaf in colour, it looks very convincing when
used in place of genuine gold leaf.
