In the USA, the pineapple is a sign of hospitality. This is a beautiful project, Ruth. All your projects are. I've learned so much watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and art.
Yikes, that is beautiful. I know mermaids aren't a classic design in frames, but I was imagining fish scales done with this combination of gold leaf. Really gorgeous, Ruth. It is extremely kind of you to share this with us. Thank you for the incredible gift of your knowledge and experience.
This one is fabulous. Quite a complex process start to finish! It’s nice to get a second look at the punched one- it’s really elegant. Thanks for all this work! Really a gift ☺️
I could watch and listen to you all day! Your voice is so soothing on top of you being so good at this! You should branch out to asmr on top of this haha :)
loved watching your restorations on the tv shows, so i'm sooooo excited to find you have a youtube channel, the advent idea is a brilliant way to discover/showcase your skills, but the larger restoration projects are brilliant, thank you
Yes... love this one. I was just imagining the collection of moulds you must have gathered over the years. Awesome 🥰
I had no idea before these videos that there were so many different types and colours of leaf.
Truly a delightful ornament for the tree. I look forward to seeing what you will make ❤
OMG! I love pineapples and this one is Gorgeous 😍
Best one yet! Very nice. 🙏
I love your Christmas tree

Thanks for the sub. Hope you enjoy watching and learning 😁
Hi Ruth! I may have missed your instruction on the 2 colors of gold on the leaves. You mentioned you liked to use button polish instead of shellac cuz it brings out the green. Did you use a green bole on the pineapple leaves?

Yes around 3:16 in the video. I mixed blue and yellow. Then the button polish makes it darker.

Got it...... I thought it was a remixed color you could buy, then I remembered the video on "How to make Bole" ! It's premixed alright! You have to premix it yourself! Oops! Thank you!
Hi Ruth, could you recommend a white gold supplier?
