Celtic Cross
The commission was to gild this Celtic cross, that had been engraved in creme marfil, a smooth white marble. It was shipped to me in wooden crating. I used an oil size and 23k gold. After I finished, it was packed and shipped to its final destination, and it was installed in the columbarium of a church.

A hand turned bowl (by Dave Dunn) still had the bark on the edges.  I covered it with 23k gold.
