Keum boo (pronounced “come boo”) is a traditional Korean
technique of fusing gold foil directly onto a finished piece of fine silver.
My method adds a twist, by first incorporating silver sheet elements before
fusing the gold foil. While you can create more depth and dimension in your
pieces this way than with gold alone, the heat required for this method is
more intense than the traditional technique. With that in mind, plan on using
a finished piece that only uses medium or hard solder — joins closed with
easy solder will likely reflow during the foil-application steps.more depth
