"Keum-Boo on Silver" by Celie Fago,apply gold to silver

This is an ancient technique that has been profected and updated by the author Celie Fago.  This is the new updated version.   I have taken the class personally with her in her Vermont Studio and will tell you that aside from going to Vermont this is the best way to learn this technique.  It is very popular using it with Precious Metal Clay pieces to highlight and add gold and a different color.  It can also be used on any metal piece that is made with fine silver.

Besides this technique there is another technique that I find extremely valuable.  Celie shows you how to make a tear sheet using a black and white drawing or photo or illustration and by using a copy machine and  polymer clay you will be able to make a texture plate that you can use to imprint your PMC or any type of clay.  This is an invaluable technique to produce your own textures.

Besides the techniques described above you also learn:

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN GOLD FOIL

USING AND MAINTAINING TOOLS

WORKING ON COMPLEX FORMS

SOURCES FOR SUPPLIES AND TOOLS

FINISHING AND PATINA TECHNIQUES

It is amazing that this small book covers so much materail.  I know you will reference it again and again as I do even though I took the course with Celie.

Thanks for looking!  Feel free to ask any questions!
