: Greetings fair builders...or should that be fairing
: builders...whatever. I am sanding the Night Heron S&G this
: afternoon and will start the art work asap. To remind y'all...I
: plan to embed metal flake of Autumnal maple leaf coloration into
: epoxy in the shape of a maple leaf. I want to include a blue
: metalic fleur-de-lis and a yellow Metis symbol. Any ideas how to
: get a metalic look with those colors. I haven't seem metal flake
: in those colors. Where can I find such a beast in a day or less?

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but seems like I have seen gift wrapping paper, or possibly metallic
shiny mylar. Something like that could be cut out and used as an onlay. Might check the greeting card/gift wrap section
of any department store?

Good luck!
