The Light of Saint Bunstable scroll is done, save for seal, signatures, and the name of the recipient. Small images are below the cut; larger ones are linked.
Honeychild, just get a small hematite or agate stone from the $1 each bin at the local rock shop. Check to make sure there aren't any scratches in the surface (or that they're all on one side and you can remember which side is good!) and you've got yourself a good burnisher. If you want to be extra fancy you can attach an old penholder to it.
I know a lot of folks who swear by the PVA stuff, and it does attach gold to paper admirably, I personally don't like the flexibility of the surface; a harder size will allow you to burnish more and get a higher shine.
