Aluminum foil from the kitchen can be embossed, collaged, and
painted.

| Some people use heavy string or cord under the foil. |
Heavy duty foil is best for this, but any type will do. Cover one side of a piece of foam core with the
foil, wrapping the edges and gluing them to the back. Use the tip of a dull
pencil to form ridges, flat shapes, and patterns in the foil.

| I filled the spaces with a deep layer of medium. |
Paint it with alcohol inks, glass or metal paints, or acrylics. Take note
of the image transfers used in this example, as well as inks and acrylic
medium.

Thanks for the tip! I've been delving into different creative pursuits recently and mixed media collages have called to me :) May have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteSo unique...THX!
ReplyDeleteThis is something I will definitely have to try. TFS !
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, and your previous post. Wish I could drop everything right now and try it. Do I have to put the Christmas decorations away? This would be more fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletewhatever it takes to get results, and cheap. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is cool! I've done similar with Tim Holtz foil sheets and rolls of silver plumbers tape but never with aluminum foil. And, I've only used alcohol inks, not acrylics. What a great idea! The transfers are a great addition and I think I'll try rub-on's and stamps too. You are just the best source of great ideas, Paula! Right now I think only have non-stick foil so will have to get some heavy duty.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog. I am very glad that I met you.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit the mine. Kisses from Greece
