12 E. 7th, the first place I lived in Vancouver. It was a lot sketchier when I lived there. It was also about a metre shorter then. The basement room had a 6' ceiling when I lived there.

Maybe I should shoot the rest of my obsolete media like I did with the books.

The difference between a "gold" frame and actual gold. I did a little better this time at keeping the leaf from ripping on tight convex corners. However, I did totally miss a spot with the glue.

This is a little closer to what I had in mind. The frame is not actually gilded yet. Maybe that will be tomorrow's project.

Continuing to experiment with the cheapest materials. Today's exercise: gilding a craptastic $5 plastic frame from London Drugs. Thus going to Kerrisdale yesterday. I was a little better at getting into the tight corners, but I still need a lot more practice.
