(I didn't work on it, it was already done when I was approached for the endpapers, just showing for reference!)
Out of curiosity, did you use a premade texture for the golden mosaic tiles, or a special brush, or did you paint them from scratch? They look super realistic and shiny!
I painted the shapes of the mosaics with a flat brush (painted some individually and then copy pasted as needed), and then used a gold foil photo as texture (with some tweaks so it could fit with everything else).
Same principles as this: https://bsky.app/profile/eleonorpiteira.bsky.social/post/3kcgtkbj4xi2u
