Beautiful! Sure would be interesting to see what it looked like in between--when you were branding and when you started applying the leaf.

>Hi E-

Boy this sure is your signature. I've never been a big fan of gold or silver leaf, but you have a technique that really makes it look fantastic. I love it!
