Canvas with scrim, tissue and molding paste. Several layers of acrylic paint then foiled.
This first canvas is postcard size - 6" x 4" - using red foil. When the light hits it from a different direction it looks like its on fire - of course, my camera skills cannot capture this :)
These next two canvases are 16" x 6", a really nice size to work with. Same media as above but this time using a gold foil.
This dinky little canvas is just 4" x 3".
All these canvases would be ideal for displaying pieces of textile work, the smaller ones in particular.This montage below shows a selection of samples I made some time ago. They have all been foiled.
And why am I experimenting so much with foil at the moment?
Because there is a new website coming very shortly which will be offering Foils and Chunky Canvas and other mixed media products at very low prices.

Those are lovely pieces.
WOW! Nice pieces. I want to touch. Sandy
Love these, this foil is so much fun :)
I love the textures you've achieved especially in the montage of samples.
What a lovely blog you have! I've only just discovered you. I love your 16x6 pieces, what a great size canvas to work with. They look so good already but I can see that they would make good backgrounds too.
I love the idea of the 4 x 3 canvas and your foil samples are just plain gorgeous! My favourite is the one at the bottom left hand.
Thanks for your messages.
the sampler is very cool idea.
do i need to be patient and wait till you open shop? :)

Gorgeous pieces, love the textures.
Very excited about your website ;0)
Hello Missus Purple, I love your blog and the things you create. I'm looking for a kind of 'artistic family" and people who love to work with all sorts of fabric and other material.
These foil-samples are very beautiful, nicely arranged and inspiring! Thanks for sharing the information about the new website concerning foils and mixed media products.
Greetings from Paris, France

Wonderful results ( as ever).
It looks gorgeous! i think I must try this way of including foil! I think its funny to create!
These pieces are really lovely Lynda, particularly the tall ones. I'm looking forward to your new site being up and running and to learning about foils.
I've just had a closer look at the samples too. I like all of them but most particularly top right and the heart one.
