Gilding

I began working with gold leaf in 1999 (gilding). Since then I have gilded numerous statues, tormas, a stupa and a Lama's Throne.

 

       
 

Statue Restoration

This statue was severly damaged. It required careful cleaning, a new layer of gold leaf and fresh 24K gold paint appiled to the face. Then the hair and facial features were repainted. This Guru Rinpoche statue currently resides in the stupa at Tara'a Refuge in Mt Shasta CA.
