Foil Relief
This relief sculpture project is a raised pictorial image made with cardboard bits and yarn on a flat surface which is covered with foil and processed in a manner which will resemble metal. I made a castle while imagining medieval times which lead me on to making a knights shield for battle.
You can design your domain complete with a drawbridge or use the metal effect to create a shield with your personal crest. Decide what you would like to make and let's begin.
