Gilded Conclusion

Today is the day we mount the project we've been working on for the past month. Hopefully, all will go well!

Here's a sneak peak. 
It involved marble dust, a special glue, clay, liquor and lots of gold leaf.

In a few days, I'll show you the finished product and some of the steps it took to get there.
