gilding wax, gilding paste, gilding polish

[Monica]

I ordered the few I have coming from Amazon and used my saved up Amazon dollars for them. Simon Says Stamp and Oozak also have them, and if I like the few I ordered then I plan to order from Oozak, as they have the best price I've seen in the US. The only reason I ordered from Amazon was that I found four colors under $10 each and had Amazon bucks to use, otherwise I'd be buying from Oozak.

Great. Thank you.

It's another place to buy art supplies. Aeryn buys her Copic supplies from there and sent me that direction for other stamp supplies.

I brought them with me to a convention and talked with the company directly. They told me to toss them.

Aaaarg. I looked.

I kept waiting for his white shirt cuffs to get blue; if it were me that would be the case!

The CE Gilding Polish very much reminds me of the Viva Decor Inka Gold that I have in a couple colours, although the Inka Gold does have some beeswax in it. I'll admit I've hardly used it; I bought it when I took a Finnabair class years ago. This is the cover we did in class and no, I haven't finished my journal. Don't judge me, LOL.

The applicator is a smart addition. As I understand it you shouldn't dip you finger directly into pots of these types of products; the contaminants from your finger can cause them to go moldy, etc. I guess that's assuming they don't dry out first!

I also have a lone pot of Prima's Metallique Wax, but that's more for colouring metals than paper; it's definitely waxier than the Inka Gold.

Monica, are you supposed to buff the CE Gilding Polish the same as you do a product with wax in it?

[Monica]

That's beautiful, Keitha! And no, you don't need to buff the gilding polish. The product is full of tiny mica bits, so it sparkles and shines without being obnoxious about it. I haven't played with the ones I got yet aside from a swipe on paper, because I'm still obsessed with the gilding flakes.

Beautiful journal Keitha. I would love to take one of her classes. Her artwork is so unique.

I know where my gold Nuevo paste is but no idea where I stashed my stencils. They have to eventually surface.
