Aluminium or tin foil?
Whatever you call it, it’s an extremely versatile sculpting medium that’s easy and pretty cheap to accomplish!!
First off, who are we and why do we love tin foil?
We’re the Pal Tiya International Crew. Between us we’ve been sculpting for decades and have used every sculpting material on the planet. We just love tin foil. It’s pretty inexpensive, it’s easy to get and it makes for quite a sophisticated sculpting material. In fact, we use tin foil as the core armature for almost every sculpture we make.

Seahorse
This one was a little different. We wanted to mount this one on a wire so we made it symmetrical by using a sharpie on a ziploc bag with a pencil outline. Have a look and you'll see what we mean.
