I’m making a new box to add to the slate piece I started a while ago (see post from 25th March….eek, has it really taken me this long to come back to this piece!). There’s something magical about the relationship of gold leaf to slate. One is mundane, ubiquitous and dull, yet earthy and necessary. The other is bright, shiny, rare, valuable and purely decorative. But when they meet, each transforms the other and makes something rich and evocative.
