Hi Linda , I haven’t actually made anything yet, but am carefully accumulating the materials to start. I’ve just ordered some 24K Gold Leaf to go in my pieces. I don’t know why he said that (Hey, Steve- Why?), but here are my thoughts. Gold Leaf is very lightweight. From what I have read, the proportion of resin to metal in Orgonite should be about 50/50 by weight. So I am looking for other metals to fulfill the weight/metal requirement, but I want the Gold vibe in there too.
I do not want the Gold Leaf to form any kind of a barrier, so I will have to break it up and, since Gold Leaf sticks to the skin, it will have to be handled with an instrument other than my hands.
I am taking the approach of putting in the materials for what I want the piece to do, then adding whatever is necessary to make the Orgonite ‘work’. I hope to be building soon. I am impatient to begin, but I have a few more things to work out, then I have to find them and get them in here. Namaste, Linda
