I love the embossed gold! 😍 do you sketch out your layout beforehand?? I always have such a hard time squeezing text in around the images in my sketchbook - I don’t ever plan for enough space 😆 your layout here is just perfect (the street lamp!)

The lamps came very last as it’s so London and only required a very small amount of vertical space. I don’t tend to plan too much these days but I like to have a rough idea of where we’re heading before starting.

I love using gold. I’ve used gold acrylic paint quite a bit but I’d love to try gold leaf some time, maybe the fake variety, not real gold! I’m sure that would be crazy expensive.😊

Gold acrylic, that sounds amazing! I actually have a silver acrylic but not gold yet, such a great shout! And gold leaf would be the absolute dream. Could anyone out there teach a gold leaf workshop?? How cool would that be… 🧡
