Tooling Foil

Sun Tooling 

 Step 1: We looked at pictures of Renaissance Suns.  A 6x6 outline of a sun is drawn on tracing paper and placed on top of a 6x6 piece of foil.  Put the tracing paper on top of the foil and trace over the sun using a ball point pen. This will transfer the sun image onto the foil.  

Step 2: With various tools ( popsicle sticks, embossing tools, wooden dowels). Outline  the sun.  Work from front to back to pull and push the foil into the desired shape.  

Step 3: Enhance details bu spray painting the foil.  Black and gold worked best.  

Last the dry foil sun image is glued to a 12x12 sheet of paper and designs and patterns were drawn in.  Work was colored with color pencil.
