these are beautiful! what materials were used for this project and what were some of your inspiration/ references?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally stealing this for my 5th grade next year. Great project, and wonderful execution.
The materials are 36 gauge aluminum tooling foil, some felt for padding when tooling the foil, basic tools including pop sticks, India ink, and acrylics and/or permanent markers. And then beads, yarn, & wire for embellishment. For more details about my expectation, check this post: http://plbrown.blogspot.com/2011/05/african-inspired-tooling-foil-relief.html
ReplyDeleteI do have lots of images from African masks from various parts of the continent, and the kids used them for design motivation as desired.
