I've had several of my photographs brown-toned and enlarged to 16 X 20s and I'm using gold-leafing to accent certain areas of several of the photographs. On some I've used the actual leaves of gold, others just the "paint-type" gold.
I like the results. Because they are 16 X 20s, I can't scan them and submit them, but I'll try to take some photos of the photos and let members see what they look like.
A couple are going to be entered in a local exhibit. I just thought gold leafing on photographs is something some of you may not have thought of and would like to experiment with.
Another self-serving report - just for the sake of conversation - yesterday I sent away a portfolio of 15 photographs and paperwork to England, in order to apply for the Associateship Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society. This is the second distinction of three. I won't know if I've earned the distinction or not for a couple of months, so I'm a wee bit nervous.
What are the rest of you up to?

Marilyn,
A gilded photograph! Hope you can make a copy for us. I had to restore some letters once for a sign and was surprised at how relatively inexpensive it was. When I researched the process I discovered a lot of fascinating information, tools, and ancient techniques. Mid July already and I haven't had much time to take pictures. I went out with a friend a couple weeks ago and got this: http://www.panoramacamera.us/cb_fred-1.jpg
Good luck with RPS,
