......on how to make this piece?--
It looks like metal embossing, doesn't it? It's not--it's all made with aluminum foil and various other mixed media techniques. And to find out more, just head on over HERE at The House of Art and you can see how to get this effect with plain old foil. I am the monthly muse there for March right now---cool!! It's amazing what you can do with everyday aluminum foil. And if this is your first time there, stay and look around. It's a great place for artists to see videos of other techniques and insightful articles written by some very talented artists. And also check out the very cool giveaway that's going on for the month of March. We have Emme to thank for the start of this wonderful community for all of us artists to get together for support and any kind of help when we need it. Thank You Emme!!
And I'm still in NYC enjoying the sites--I'll be back in a couple of days with pics!

At first glance, I can't believe that part of the artwork was the everyday aluminum we use. I might consider trying this. :)

There is a comment about Bob on my blog, in reference to an old cartoon cutout (for you) I found in one of my mom's books she had slipped in there. Anyway, have always wanted to make you a copy and send you, because it reminds me of Bob....and you can save it, print it and use it in some of your art!!...somewhere, if you like!!! I LOVE the things you are producing!!! You have done an incredible amount of beautiful art....and you need to be a book, but I remember,....you got your own book at Christmas!! You are a treasure!
Amazing tutorial!! and so simple....wow, the ideas are unlimited with this!!1 Thanks Diane!...
This is gorgeous! You are so talented I swear you could make something lovely out of ANYTHING. Bravo!
Great tutorial! I just have one question...will other things work to color the foil besides alcohol inks?
I love the piece you put together using all those wonderful squares!!!

I have missed you and your art SO MUCH. I've hardly left my bed since I got home from California, but had to stop by and read your latest . How sweet that we were on different coasts at about the same time. I'll check out the video next, but wanted you to know I have missed reading your blog and saying hi each morning.
Thank you so much for sharing those techniques with us Diane. I can't wait to get started now...

Diane-what an over the top fantastic tutorial!!! I can't believe that's plain old aluminum foil!!! I especially love the sun...looks like old and faded metal! Thanks for sharing this with us...your instructions are so easy to follow too! -Soraya
Absolutely stunning :-)

Diane, OHHH- thanks-
this is fantastic- and what you made looks gorgeus, dear.
Amazing that such a thing as normal foil, can look like that ,after being treated with a little paste-and paint--LOVE it.
--the verification word is :drank--I did not do that..but will go down to dinner and a glas of wine :)
