Got Gilding Flakes!

Hmm, it's not easy to write a blog post when your two year old keeps driving a toy fire engine across your keyboard, but I thought I'd better make an announcement about my latest product.

I had a hell of a time tracking down a supplier of gilding flakes (or gilding foil), there is currently only one comprehensive supplier of gilding flakes on the Chinese umbrella site I subscribe to, and for some reason they only take the trouble to respond to 50% of enquiries, and unfortunately my emails were in the unlucky half that gets ignored. However I was able to find a UK based company that produces all manner of gold leafing and gilding products. The profit margin won't be as high, but at least now I can assess the demand.

It's such beautiful stuff, and great fun to pack into jars, I'd just managed to get the last of the glitter cleared up, now I have fragments of coloured foil everywhere!


These are currently available via my Etsy shop, though I'll be adding them to my Folksy very soon.
