    There was a "Studio Visit" with Daniel Brush featured in Metalsmith
    in the Winter 2002 edition... contains some specifications that might
    give you insight on how he creates the pieces: 

    * Sheets of gold rolled three times thinner than cigarette paper 

    * Gold granules .008 of an inch in diameter, applied withe a
    one-haired brush 

    * Metal drilled to a hundredth-of-an-inch precision 

    * 40x (yes, that's FORTY) power surgical binoculars 

    Not a technique that I would personally have the patience for!
