Combination: This example shows a dragon scratched after gold
      leaf was applied but before vinegared towel was put on. The course
      texture is shell powder mixed with glue and put on before gold
      leaf was applied.
 

      
Painting
      on the surface: After
      applied gold leaf, I sprayed Crystal Clear, Polyurethane, Stain
      Sealer and none. And then I painted red Watercolor, Gouache,
      Acrylic, Acrylic Gouache, and Oil Pastel.
 

      
Oil Pastel
      w/ Scratch:
      This example shows
      Oil Pastel and scratch after the gold leaf was applied and sprayed
      by Crystal Clear.
 

      
Reaction: After applied gold leaf, I used
      TEC, Banish, Hase Cleaner to see if gold leaf surface will be
      reacted by it. It took more than a month to see those lines finally
      appeared from the surface.
 

      
Reaction: I used metallic ink, fluorescent color, and string
      dipped into vinegar, etc...
 

      
Combination: Combination with different materials.
 

      
Combination: I used two different kinds of Gel medium on top
      of the Gold leaf. And then I dipped a cotton rope into vinegar
      and put it on top.
 

      
Combination: This time, I used vinegared rope and a vinegared
      feather.
