30 Day Challenge Day 13: Scratch Art

Well, this is something totally new for me.  But my friend, Dee, offered to show me how she does this.  I know many people do "scratchboard".  But Dee does her on aluminum.  The scratched out areas shine with a silver gleam!  Very fun!  

You can use any sharp tool...she uses one of those craft knives.  My friend, Peg, uses a roofing nail put through a cork.  This allows her a more comfortable "handle" to scratch with.  Works great!.  This is 8 x 10 (black spray paint on aluminum flashing).  I used a photo I found in a magazine and you can trace it on using white carbon paper.  

We worked on this about two hours.
