If you're a technique junkie like I am, you would love Jacqueline Sullivan's Collaged Codex class. This same project was featured in the May/June 2004 issue of Somerset Studio. I'm glad there's a picture of the finished project on the class website. I was so busy playing with all the techniques, I kind of forgot about the project. The techniques, as pictured from left to right -- patina copper and brass created with either vinegar or ammonia if you try this at home do it in a well-ventilated area and DON'T MIX AMMONIA AND VINEGAR!; aluminum foil textured with metal-working tools and mounted on watercolor paper with acrylics painted over; cheesecloth on watercolor paper with acrylics painted over; stenciled molding paste on mat-board.
Jacqueline is a mistress of media, who shares generously from both her font of knowledge and her loads of Golden acrylic media. This was the first time I'd used GAC. GAC 200 is what makes the acrylic adhere to the aluminum foil or any other non-porous surface. I've already referred to Jacqueline's 22-page handout full of color suggestions and four other techniques we didn't try in class. If you're a technique junkie and you ever have the opportunity to take a class with Jacqueline Sullivan, run, don't walk to sign-up and fill your toolbox.
