Gold Leafing on Canvas – Try a New Technique

Thanks to ANG and Judy Souliotis for providing an article from the archives of their magazine. The article goes through how to do gold leafing on needlepoint canvas.

I’ve used metallic markers and stencils to color canvas in the past, and there are plenty of metallic paints out there in all kinds of colors. But nothing can match the richness and real metal look of gold leaf.

The major obstacle Judy encountered was finding an adhesive that would work, but that wouldn’t discolor the canvas.

You can read the details of what she did in the article. I can’t wait to try it.
