Available to commission, this five-horned rhinoceros beetle (Eupatorus gracilicornis) is an absolute unit. This beetle has a 14cm (5.5") wingspan, and fills my entire palm (see my stories for a pic). • If you would like to snap this guy up please read my 'commissions' post and then send me an email 🥰 • He's got another layer of good leaf to go, and I'm intending to gild the main horn too. He can go in a display dome or a custom made deep shadow box. All done in 24k leaf. • 🚫 Please do not repost without permission. • #skullpturas #goldleaf #seppleafproducts #24k #taxidermy #absoluteunit #rhinocerosbeetle #entomology #entomologist #maximalistinteriors #maximalism (at Norwich, Norfolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mcCcdJti0/?igshid=12afso7xtocpx

The finials were sized with the oil and after they dried to a 'tack' the 23kt gold leaf went on. These will sit atop the gilded armoire. ~ #seppleafproducts #artfusionevent2018 #gildingartsnewsletter (at Charles Douglas Gilding Studio)

Blowing the leaf onto a finial for the gilded armoire project...23k ;) ...#seppleafproducts #artfusionevent2018 #gildingartsnewsletter (at Charles Douglas Gilding Studio)

Oil gilding in progress! ...1. Washing the 23kt gold leaf with a soft mop and cold water to clean the gilding from skewings (residual pieces of gold leaf); 2. Tamping the gold with cotton (oil gilded leaf does not stain in the way that water gilded leaf can but you do want to tamp-out any water beading; 3. Three finials to be gilded and set atop the armoire; 4. Pedestal before and during gilding which the armoire will placed upon. ~ #seppleafproducts #artfusionevent2018 #gildingartsnewsletter (at Charles Douglas Gilding Studio)
