& collecting the tiny specs that brush off.
After this picture was taken
I removed some of the gold
using stick tape
then I put that on a piece of paper-
to use for something else !
It's like collecting Gold Dust !
Jewellers' Rouge Powder-
I mixed some in water & dyed some papers.

My brother was a gold polisher for many years...
he used to come home covered in pink dust from the rouge !
