Second entry today... I got the gold leaf on the gesso. Woot! Amazing, though, how something that shines like... well, gold... makes every little flaw show right up. I burnished the gesso before applying the leaf, so it was nice and shiny. Oh, baby. It'ts looking SO good. I have to lean up the lines... the gold stuck to them, too. (I could never figure out how come it stuck to the ink so easily but not always the gesso.) I should be able to start painting tomorrow.

Thank god for Imitrex... Yep, the gesso worked very well! I'll be happy to look at the people... I'm here every night this week. I'll be painting, which is the fun part. I can even do that while I talk to people, so you can come on over. What night?
