I am thinking of adding gold leaf to my Stewart Stephenson challenge piece. This is my test piece where I applied gold leaf to the back of the challenge piece to see what it would look like. I then put that into Photoshop and added it to a photo of my challenge piece. It wouldn't look exactly like this but it gives you the general idea. So the question is, with or without?

IMHO, a little less gold it overpowers the red and blue.

I like the gold addition very much and I agree with Marilyn - a little less would be good.

Just to reiterate what I posted on your blog: I like the addition of the gold leaf as it brightens the overall effect.

I like gold but not on this piece (too much information in my opinion), however, I like gold on the first sample with orange background.

Thanks everyone for your replies and opinions. The gold is winning. If I do add the gold, it will be in smaller quantities than the mock up and it will look like the first photo. The pieces of gold will be smaller than what is represented in the mock up. So I'm leaning towards adding the gold but I haven't made a final decision yet. I do think it needs just a bit something else and the gold might be it in small quantities.

I like the gold. I like it over the whole area but perhaps in smaller amounts. I think it continues the movement of the piece.

Thanks Ann - I will probably add the gold - haven't gotten to it yet.

What a difference a little gold makes - it is now finished (and very pretty).
