A very talented lady, called Leonie, joined me for one of our foilart classes. She has caught the craze and is running with it! Here is a beautiful piece she did with 2 hearts. She painted the 'back' hearts silver and gold, then glued the top hearts which were lazer cut filligree, on top and foiled on the 'swirls'. She then sealed it with liquid glass which is really nice for doing fiddly details. A simple project that looks gorgeous. What have you tried with foilart recently?

Sweetie jar
This another great project from Lynette. I love a good ol' recycle project and this one is so simple. All you need is a tin can, sandpaper, spray paint, glue pen, foil (here she used a plain silver) and modge podge.
Simply sand the can, spray with the paint. Leave to dry. Write with your glue pen and foil. Then just seal it with 2 coats of modge podge. And hey presto a new sweetie jar.
If you have made anything with foilart that you are proud of and would like to show off e-mail me, niki.higgs7@gmail.com and I'll post it on here. I always love seeing other peoples great projects too.

Sparkles were you tinkle.
I just love when other people send me what they have done with their foilart! Lynette is a huge fan of foilart and I can see she is going to take foilart to places not even I would have thought of going! Just check out this picture of the toilet seat in her son's bathroom. How awesome it that? She did it using the super-tack glue pen and rainbow foil then sealed it with modge podge.
She also did a set of beautiful coasters.
She pratley glo'd them to make sure the foil stayed protected.
If you have done anything with foilart that you are really proud about e-mail me a picture and I'll put it on my blog.
