In these photographs Rebecca is covered in Gold Leaf.  I bought it from the local art supply store.  It’s designed for the gilding of art, picture frames, small knick knacks and furniture.  Since it’s mostly pure gold it’s generally non-toxic.  We first sprayed Rebecca with cooking oil where we wanted to stick the gold.  It comes in 5.5” by 5.5” squares separated by tissue paper.  After separating a square from the back, we placed it gold side down against the skin, then slowly peeled away the tissue paper.  Using a new, clean soft bristled brush we patted the gold against the skin to ensure it stuck.

    I have another dozen and a half images that should be up in a few day.

I first met Casie on Twitter http://twitter.com/casiemoore .  After a few weeks I asked her to pose for me, she came over in mid November.  This is the first set.  I’ll have more later.
