The lightbox that I constructed for my stained glass work around 30 years ago was similar except that I drilled 3-4 holes so I could install the florescent...
Although I don`t have written instuctions for it, another lighting method is to use florescent tubes inside the box...and frosted glass...and a hinged top to...
Mine has three of the long cabinet bulbs the length of the box with their covers on them. The light disperses beautifully and evenly. The design on here is...
Greetings! First let me apologize if you see this multiple times. I'm trying to see what interest there is for the class I am proposing. If there is not enough...

I've got an off topic question here on gold leaf. I notice the local arts and crafts store (Michael's) sells several gold leaf books, but the packages don't...
Yes, that is imitation gold leaf. I don't know what it's made of but I have used it. It's actually not bad at all. The color isn't quite a true gold but most...
It's definitely the fake stuff, particularly if it's going under the brand names of "Olde World art" or "Mona Lisa". These are sheets "compo" gold, about 5"...
You are correct, Gunther... real gold leaf isn't going to be that inexpensive. What you are seeing is what is called "Composition Leaf". It is not easy to...
I have used it. It's not bad, not great, but, it does tarnish and needs to be sealed somehow. In service to Crown and Kingdom HL Victoria LaRossa Shire of...
Hi all, I just got some new illuminated manuscript books from B&N, and there is this one illumination that clearly shows a dragon playing a tenor recorder. I...
