Ive been playing around with some foil art lately and this is the end results of my first one, It has paint, yarns, foils and shells and then i used shoe polish as the ageing medium. this ones just all random placements and random things as i was just testing the waters lol But I'm excited with the next one im doing now and it should be finished in the next few days Attachments:

Thanks Girls. Ann i started with a canvas and used glue to adhere some screwed up foil, yarn and shells then covered the whole piece is foil, attaching it with paverpol and really pressing it in all the nooks and cranies, then some paint, i wasnt planning anything , just layering and then painting just to get the feel of it, so random colors , once all the paint was dry i gave it a coat of shoe polish using a brush and then rubbed back to give an aged look, i was going to sand it as well but i havent done that yet. once i do then it will have a varnish over the whole top. I've really enjoyed the whole process and now i'm making another one with a purpose

I have used Sharpie pens on foil. You can also use alcohol inks. Good project. Looks great.
