The woodwork on the Maltese clock is now complete. It was a quite a challenge but I am very pleased with the result so far. Now begins the delicate work of gilding. Have never done this before. A word from all of you to the One above to give me some assistance would help.
The clock dial will fit into the square frame. My brother-in-law will be decorating it for me.
Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments on yesterday’s picture.
Tomorrow: Jeff and Nick
It looks absolutely beautiful as I knew it would! As to the gilding, I guess it is like any fine craft- patience and diligence will result in excellent work. Judging from the photos of your beautiful wood working, I would say you are up to the task! The One Above has given you all the natural talent you need!
Well done, Dione. I think that gilding is a very delicate thing and requires patient. Sorry, I can't help you in this question.. but I am curious and I'd like to see your final thing.
