Constructed Heart #7


Wow. The photo actually looks better than the real thing! This 5" heart is made of craft foil, "tooled" with a dull pencil. (I find the metal embossing tools snag and scratch and feel yucky, so I prefer the pencil. I think the graphite helps it glide a bit better, too.) The large wrinkles were a "happy accident" and I like them. I finished it by experimenting with my new gold and silver alcohol inks. Didn't look great (wish I had the jeweltone set), so washed over the whole thing with brown Dye-na-flow. Done. Time for bed!
