Beautifully done. I hope you keep uploading videos, as I think you will do very well seeing as you are well known from TV. Unlike the rest of us banging are heads against a wall trying to get a foot in the door. Can't wait for the next video.
Ruth, your videos always make my day and I've had an excellent time learning from you and restoring my own bits and pieces at home. I'm very excited for the aging video on your course. When do you think we may be able to buy it? - I know you have a lot on, so I hope you get some well-deserved down-time too. Thank you for being a beacon of such a treasured art.
@@qwertyx333 thank you 😊. I'm just doing the last bit of filming for the water gilding course. It should be ready in a few weeks. 🤞 for the beginning of September.
Interesting to see all the competent work that goes into such a restoration. Love it! (also laughing about the fact that my eyes are so near sighted that where you put you glasses on to do the detail work, I would be taking mine of to do the same (as I do when embroidering tiny stitches😅)
Thank you very much Ruth for freely sharing so much of your knowledge on framing and gilding. Through watching your detailed videos over the past few years, you've helped me build my own gilded frames from scratch for my paintings. Before I had discovered your channel, building anything more ornate than a very basic float frame seemed completely out of reach. I've substituted some of the materials used for convenience sake (such as using paper clay instead of compo for the ornamentation), but the underlying process of creating a frame remains exactly the same as you've demonstrated. Thank you once again.
A great job there Ruth and if only it was that quick watching the speeded up section!Im most interested in your particular way of toning or aging and distressing the gold so it looks as though I will have to pay!
I’m really enjoying watching these videos. Thank you for sharing your process. Could I ask what you use to make the moulds, I need to cast some decorative trim on a furniture piece and there are so many products out that that I’m finding it confusing. The two part product you use in this video looks ideal.
Thanks again for a great demo. Your videos are so informative, a wealth of knowledge to us dabbling in this hobby. If I may ask, how is the gesso putty made? Thank you again...keep well.
Dear Ruth, really enjoy your video's. I have several old(er) frames of which it is unclear if gold paint has been used or that they are gilded. Can you advise me on a method how to figure it out? Thanks in advance.

@@ianswindell thanks Ian. It is hard to do RUclips and work. Something has to give, but I do hope to keep it up. 😁 You now have one more sub.
Such excellent work, thank you for taking the time to share your skills and knowledge.
Thank-you for this great video, it's a real pleasure to see you work 👌

Really great quality result and presentation. You are a natural in front of the camera. Thank goodness you don't add gimmicks. Lovely job, Ruth!

wow sucha patience
Truly a silk purse out of a sows ear! What a wonderful looking frame when you have finished.
@@nightlurker thanks 😊
It must be very satisfying to bring the frame back to life. I look forward to the gilding course!
I’ve almost dipped my brush several times into my coffee instead of the gilding water !😂
@@JGmedia18 thats when you know you are a proper gilder 😁 and the still drink the coffee. 😬
that's awesome, keep the videos comin
Ruth rules!
The coffee cup says gold in the coffee and yep there's gold in the coffee.
@@CassiaConvolution ☕ 😊

@@donnapolizzia8553 thank you 😊
Wow. I feel weird saying this about a frame, but it’s gorgeous 😻
superb!

@@ffotograffydd I use silicone putty from Polycraft.
Thanks again for a great demo. Your videos are so informative, a wealth of knowledge to us dabbling in this hobby. If I may ask, how is the gesso putty made? Thank you again...keep well.
@@micelab thanks 😊 gesso putty is just thick gesso. I will be showing it as part of an advanced gesso course I'm developing.
@@RuthTappinGilderOh I can’t wait for that!!

@@merlijnmol9681 I will do a video on this at some point. Gold paint oxidizes turns brown over time and looks flat, all the same over the frame.
