Gilded Illustration
Daydreams and stories weave a strong thread through Paper Cuckoo products, visible in the glint of copper leaf or the twirl of a bird’s tail.
Many of the artworks feature beautiful 23carat gold-leaf and metallic-leaf techniques for a rich effect that catches the light.
Finishing off an illustration with a glimmer of metallic leaf gives it a rich touch of luxury. This traditional technique of using a natural material like 23carat gold-leaf is truly special - it is applied and painted freehand in painstaking detail.
Gold-leaf, copper-leaf and silver-leaf finishes are available.
