Foil Moon

I was gifted a really neat pack of foil scratch paper a little while back and finally “etched” out some time to try it out (get it? “Etched?”).

I found a mandala moon pattern I really liked on Pinterest.  Below you can see my take on it using the Foil paper!

The paper is made by eeBoo can be found on Amazon. 

I found doing this was really relaxing!  I do think, though, that I may get some scratch tools.  The wooden stylus seemed to get dull pretty quickly.  It could be because I tend to use a lot of force when I am drawing.  I did use a pencil sharpener and that renewed the tip for a little.  They have metal-tipped pen sets out there (like these) though I would be scared I might scratch right through the foil!

I have memories of doing scratch art back in school, but back then it was just black and white.  The hologram on these gives the art a whole new level. 

So get a pack of these papers for a kid in your life (or for your inner child).  They make for a perfect rainy night project.
