This collection was conceived from a pivotal time in my childhood – spending days upon days at my parent’s antique shop. Surrounded by the treasures I was especially drawn to the bright, shiny objects – gilded gold mirrors being one of my absolute favorites. Today that fascination has blossomed into something tangible.
After years of practice and dedication, I’ve mastered the ancient art of gilding, turning simple metal designs into beautifully detailed ornaments. These gilded pieces add a unique touch of elegance that no other finish can match, becoming treasured keepsakes that celebrate special moments and friendships.
The Gilded Collection makes beautiful appointments for the home — in the window or shelf or, on a stack of books! I hope you will cherish this collection as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
Handmade gilded gold leaf metal ornament adorned with a ribbon and packaged in a drawstring organza gift bag.
I begin the process with a crude piece of cut metal and sheets of gold leaf. Layer after layer the ornament is transformed into a beautiful work of art.
