I have done a couple of different projects with foil as the entire
armature. I did multicultural dolls and line sculptures with middle school
students using foil and they turned out really well. The first layer is a
little tricky, but after that it works like anything else. The foil is
nice because you can get interesting shapes and details not as easily done
with newspaper itself.
