Keum-boo is an ancient Korean technique where
24-karat gold foil is bonded to silver or other metals. This produces a rich gold color, while using very little foil. The simplicity of this technique makes it a fun, inexpensive way to add gold to your work.

This easy to follow DVD is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a solid understanding of the keum-boo process. You will find step-by-step instructions for creating a pair of keum-boo earrings and adding a patina. Running time: 60 min.
