Gallery / Berliner Zinfiguren Greeks in Gold Leaf
« Last post by NFlat on December 26, 2024, 10:41:43 AM »I had always wanted to play with gold leaf and a chance purchase of culinary gold leaf set me on the road to gildingthese figures. The inspiration came from an ancient Greek scabbard of a lion hunt. The figures were primed in red oxide car primer, then painted with gold size. Once the size was as sticky as Sellotape the gold leaf particles were picked up with a paint brush and dropped in place until all was covered. The dry brush was used to tamp the leaf into place. Once fully dry, to enhance the finish, gold leaf as backed on wax paper was applied as a second coat, positioning parts of the sheet cut with scissors and pressed in place but not tamped down. Left alone for 24 hours this resulted in a smoother shinier finish.
The figures were then backed against leather and mounted in a frame.

Figure Identification/Search / Segom Toisin D'Or II Painted Set
« Last post by John Hoffmann on December 24, 2024, 02:15:08 PM »I recently acquired a very lovely painted set of the Segom "Toisin D'Or" series.
I would love to know who the painter was/is.
When I went to the Segom web site, there is a photo of the set painted, but I could not open it. I think that is because the series is sold out?
If anyone can help with the identification that would be greatly appreciated. ( Having trouble attaching the photo)
An interesting feature of the set is that the base of each figure is painted gold.
Also I would like to take this moment to wish everyone and their families a super Merry Christmas and much Health and Happiness in 2025.
Cheers!
