A Little Help?

Can anyone who's viewing this tell me why the gold leaf goes places I do not stick the glue, such as all over Jesus' face? Because it's rather irritating to have to redo the whole face again. Same goes with Mary's hood. Thanks!

It's Been Too Long.

Finally, I have a camera. And finally, I have something to show. Like Saint Mary of Egypt, finished. A bit of the next icon, Theotokos, too.
