gold leaf halo middle ages style

This is one step of my process of making my middle ages style zoidberg jesus. Prior to these steps I painted some heavy paper with red oil paint then put on a thin coat of Gold Leaf . started by looking at this cimabue piece for inspiration using this ring and a torx screwdriver to make evenly spaced dots. then decided to elaborate with a stamp subtle but visible after using a hammer to stamp the linolium in.
