Glistening Garden created using alcohol inks on household aluminum foil. I was surprised by the movement of the ink on this surface, the richness and vibrancy of the colors. Another surprising advantage was the ability to add texture behind the foil for an unusual effect. After the piece was complete, I created two separate, framed works of art. In the first option, I framed and matted the artwork in a metallic frame. In the second option, I used a shadowbox frame crinkling the art into a fun 3D shape. I like both. See the "Making of the Glistening Garden" to watch the alcohol inks move on this unusual surface.
