ArttXcentriX ~ Re: Foil Art Video
I stumbled on "Technique of the Week 'Foil Art'" by CapricornArtist73 and it was just the kind of creative challenge I needed. I decided I wouldn't "think" I'd just "do" and see what happened. I didn't have all the materials he used so I ad-libbed with what I had. This is the gift that came out of it, that I made for my best friend who's stood by me and never let go even when I was losing my mind. Thank you so much!
Thank you Gary for giving me a creative spark that I could just run with. It was a lot of fun.
Be sure to check him out, he is one of the most generous artists on youtube and there is a lot to be learned from him. I'm still learning! http://www.youtube.com/user/CapricornArtist73
materials used (shortlist): Wood base, latch hook rug backing, aluminum foil (heavy), old nail polish, vintage (metal) Christmas garland, faux metal technique on mache clay and cardstock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w5MeZbKek0, found items...giant rusty nail, copper wire, red wire harvested from old radio, gel medium, acrylic paint.
Hope you enjoyed and will give it a try, it's a lot of fun! Have a happy and creative day!

The wings are the same "faux metal" that I did in the how to vid. I just cut the wings out of cardstock, did the faux metal, then used gold paste, then backed that cardstock with black cardstock cut a little wider to give the wings an outline. They say hello back and we definitely have to vid chat it's been ages! *HUGS*
