Embossing Foil
I've finished the silk and silver medallions quilt, I just haven't been able to take a satisfactory photo. I'm working on it, and hopefully will have something to show soon.
In the meantime I have been working on some other foil embossing projects. Here is a piece featuring a multitude of textures on crumpled foil:
I used the impasto plug-in in Painter, set to pick up paper texture, working on a clone so I could pick up the clone source color. The brush I used was an air brush. So much gibberish to most readers, I am sure, but I have gotten some questions about specifics from previous posts on Painter, so I thought I would give some basic details to anyone interested. The embossed frame is also done with the impasto plug-in, set to uniform, using the scratchboard tool and dialing up the variability slider on the color pallet (medium gray selected).
I have also been expanding on the technique I used for the medallions, they make nice pins when put together with a few beads:
