Aluminum foil made an ascetically pleasing print on its own but in collaboration, it almost completely overpowered the form underneath. Voiding the effect in a collaboration defeats the purpose. In future collaborations, aluminum foil would not be an option. However, the foil on its own made for many different forms and ridges for ink to adhere to. Experimentation with foil on botanical subjects would be an avenue to pursue in botanical art. The plant could perhaps be flattened onto the foil, then printed. Whether or not, this could become a possible future exploration for my classes deserves some investigation.

Your print looks like it's a puffy bag floating on top of the paper! Very 3D, very interesting.
