  • That Gold looks really shiny and not "brassy" at all, do you think I would be able to use it on canvas or Watercolour paper? I'm thinking maybe not the pebbles? Where do you get it if you don't mind me asking @Fire

    For sure. It's fab to experiment with. Links are given above to Nuvo paste and the stamp ink. Gold (copper, silver) leaf is fiddly but great fun to use on all sorts of surface
  • Just had a quick look on Amazon,I've been searching in vain for a pale but shiny gold,all it needs is a little pointer......😁 I'd never heard of this Nuvo make before. Thanks Fire.😁

    I personally use Ebay not Amazon and like to experiment with second hand bits and pieces there. But there's not much in the way of Nuvo there at the moment. I have played with mounding Nuvo and heating it for 3D media effects.It does set firm.  It's fun to stencil with too. I like that the ink stamp and Glacier paste are water-based so they wash off hands and brushes easily. I can't really be doing with oil-based ungents at the moment. The mess just gets everywhere and is hard work. 


  • Its never occurred to me to look for second hand" bits" that's a great idea as some of these things are quite big pots full, I think I would feel guilty,but I use gold a lot.
    I also use the ordinary "paste" to fill in any flaws in pebbles. It seems to work well, but £9+ for a very small amount. Still, what does it matter for your hobby😁
    Thankyou for that link @Fire it's so nice to have you back full of ideas.
