A relatively simple mixed media technique using foil, wallpapers, card etc, whichever paper types will provide textures. A base foundation is made first by sticking down ripped, torn, cut wallpaper etc also scrunched up foil to give more of a low relief effect. Glue is applied, doesn't matter if it's pritstick, pva just so long as it sticks! Foil is then scrumpled, unfolded and placed over the top of the papers. Rub (burnish) the foil into the nooks and crannys until pretty smooth (there will be lots of texture). Do this carefully as the foil can rip. Add additional textures gently scraping shapes, patterns into the foil. Apply glue using a hot glue gun. This gives a nice abstract low relief effect adding to the textures produced. Finally spray paints are used as these adhere to the foil and glue. Various colour schemes can be used, colour groups or monochromes. It can be as intense or as subtle as you like, the possibilities are endless.
