'Gilded Lily' (Gold)

I've always liked the expression 'To Gild the Lily.'
It comes from the derivation of Shakespeare's verse, and expresses the very human
impulse to over embellish or improve something unnecessarily.
I think we've all been there!

"To gild refined Gold, to paint the Lily, to throw perfume on the Violet, to smooth Ice, or add another hue to the Rainbow."

Screen print with hand laid Gold Leaf

Materials used:
