elegant gold gradient

I am currently working on a cake design for a friend.  The cake is going to have some gold in it, either a gold ribbon or an entire tier covered in gold leaf.  Thinking about gold designs has rolled over into this paint job.

Just a simple champagne color paint for the base color.  Then some thick gold glitter paint on the tips.  I wasn't sure about the gold glitter at first.  But now that it is all done, I love it.  There is something very elegant to it.  It also reminds me of a pair of shoes I own.  They are nude 4 inch, nothing fancy, but they have this awesome gold glitter sole.  I wish I had more fancy occasions to wear them.

Academy Awards (the oscars)

My last paint job (champagne cocktail) inspired me to do a full on Oscars paint job.  I am a little bit of a movie nut (Netflix looses money with my account) and I love the Oscars.  The Golden Globes definitely rocked this year and set the bar extremely high for the Oscars.  I also either have or go to an Oscar party every year.

champagne cocktails

I made a list of food inspired paint jobs I want to do in the future.  Champagne was at the top of the list.  And what better time to try a champagne paint job than for the Oscars.
