Cool idea, Laura!
I've used gold leaf in other ways, but I never
thought to use my china paint medium that way.
Wow, gotta run out and try this!
(Watch out for true silver leaf, though; it tarnishes.
Can be good if you want that darker effect over time,
though. Otherwise use aluminum leaf.)

Just to add to the gold "vein" - I've used gold leaf, treating it as an
overglaze, at ^018, on a gloss glaze surface. In testing the best way
to adhere the gold to the surface, I used a bunch of materials, but
found china paint medium to the be the best, as I wanted a crackly sort
of look for that particular project. It looks so cool - not painty like
overglaze gold, but like . . . gold. Next time I'll control the
application more and use a lowtack adhesive sprayed through a stencil,
and see how that works.
The nice surprise I had when I tried silver leaf, in stripes on a white
satin-matt background, was that at ^018 it turned into the most
delicious pearl look, very subtle.
Gold leaf mixed in with ^06 clear glaze was pretty too - little specks
of gold .

Funny thing - the silver hasn't darkened at all (it's been almost 2 yrs I think).
I did try aluminum and it just burned off.

Really? wow! cool! gotta try! I've avoided it lately (in
non-clay applications), but now I've got a use for it.
Thanks!
