Jr. Anthony in Embossed Gold leaf

[PatrickR]

I have been working on this one for awhile. The technique is from turn of the century glass signs. A thick damar varnish is applied and allowed to dry enough that it can be embossed without flowing out or leaving sharp edges. After embossing it is allowed to dry fully (this took about two weeks. Then gold leaf is water gilded over it. I then clear cast it with LD. C&C welcome.

Thanks Mark! Hopefully it encourages people to look outside of what's normally used for pens. I have a few more ideas yet.

I like the use of materials not seen here before or even thought of and this is a nice technique. Thanks for sharing. Pen looks great.
