This was a spur of the moment idea to use tin foil, and the overall aesthetic appearance of the samples. They have a lot of depth, and are so easy to mould to the exact shape. A lot of difference in scale can be created too with large planes of reflective faces mixed with scrunched up tightly packed facets.
The appearance is very elaborate and beautiful but the problem is the materil is so temporary. You can't transport any section because the flat parts with become scrunched up and its not easy to join together because the foil is delicate. Using foil has been really useful to think abou shapes I want to create. But turning into fabric will be the best idea because it will be the most wearable and the easiest to create into an actual garment.
Attempting to add colour to the foil. I was disappointed to begin with about thelack of colour the foil took, but once it dried I really like the faint hint of colour. The colours are a lot more delicate and pretty rather than brash.
Page from sketchbook. I like how easy the material is ti maipulate onto both the actual body and drawn figures of the body. It is a good tool so start thinking about shape.
