They conform perfectly to relief patterns, settle into recessed details, and produce seamless coverage without visible seams.

Application works best over Gedeo Relief Gilding Paste, which provides the adhesive base and dimensional texture that makes gilding interesting. Press leaves gently onto tacky paste, brush away excess, and the metal bonds permanently to raised areas while leaving recesses bare for dramatic contrast. This technique works across wood, plaster, clay, glass, and metal surfaces, rejuvenating picture frames, adding dimension to mixed media panels, or creating custom decorative objects.

Each package contains twelve leaves, enough for multiple projects or extensive surface coverage. The ultra-thin construction makes these leaves forgiving to work with; they mold around curves and edges without cracking or tearing like thicker foils. Modern gilding without traditional complexity or specialized training.
