Tin Foil Bas Relief

 

Supplies: cardboard, a variety of lace, hot glue, a glue stick, tin foil, q-tip, and shoe polish.

 I wanted this to be a collage of textures, so using different lace I glued the lace onto the cardboard with hot glue. Then using the glue stick I covered the lace and cardboard with glue, and promptly put the tin foil on top with enough to fold over the edges. Using my finger and a q-tip I gently rubbed on the tin foil to get the finer details of the lace. Then I took shoe polish and rubbed that in so the different patterns of the lace was more prominent. The shoe polish made the tin foil less shiny, but definitely made the textures stand out.
