In Lhasa, there is a man named Martin Walker-Watson, who owns and operates a gilding studio. This is really quite remarkable, and you will wish to visit his site. By so doing, you will learn about the process of gilding images, stupas, and so forth, and may be inspired to try this for yourself. Actually, the question of how to gild images is one that comes up all the time, and Martin gives an admirable introduction to the process, and useful links to suppliers.
Mr. Walker-Watson's site is a valuable resource, and should be encouraged.

Many thanks for your kind words and positive feedback. I'll keep on updating and developing the site. Oh, and...keep blogging, you're a treasure find! Martin
