Looks like a 'no corrections' kind of media. You did a super job with the peony flower-her shapes are so complex.Carol Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247326353477078571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111267687213542155.post-85216212406133000082010-12-20T13:35:56.094-08:002010-12-20T13:35:56.094-08:00I use 38-gauge decorator foil.

They come in a myriad of colors - gold, silver, copper, bronze, red (great for Christmas) blue, aqua...<br /><br />Just make sure that you don't order, for example 'copper' instead of 'copper color,' or you'll get an extremely small piece instead of a nice big roll, ha ha! Yes, I've already made that mistake so you don't have to!<br /><br />The metal comes in a variety of gauges - I suggest starting with the thin metal and working your way up, depending on how serious you get with it.<br /><br />Yeah, I've thought about dumping ice, too - too much work! I've decided to glory in the new and different plants I can grow here. :)<br /><br /><br />If you would like to continue this type of work, you can get the metal at good art stores (Texas Art Supply) or online. Today we used 38-gauge decorator foil. It comes in silver, gold or bronze. We antiqued it with acrylic paint.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09071745011374047667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111267687213542155.post-88132922436678165312010-12-20T05:52:02.128-08:002010-12-20T05:52:02.128-08:00Wow that looks amazing...Love it..!Wow that looks amazing...Love it..!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026109701609348319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111267687213542155.post-117572308406888862010-12-19T22:04:55.477-08:002010-12-19T22:04:55.477-08:00you really have me guessing what type of metal thi...you really have me guessing what type of metal this is--it's very beautiful as are the peonies....regrettably i cannot grow them here as it's not cold enough in winter and i refuse to dump ice on the mud just now...i guess i can do some tree peonies...anyway, can't wait to see the progression of this..gorgeous etching! very inspiring too ... blessings..xL'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.com
