I can't help it, when I come across a new idea and I have the stuff just sitting in my kitchen.....
I used heavy duty foil out of fear (at the end you have to be able to apply a little pressure to remove all the paper fibers, it doesn't seem prudent to have thin foil under the image.)
My crappy cell phone pictures can't really capture the metallic glow that lays underneath the lighter parts of each image. But it's there. I glued a sheet of heavy duty foil to a canvas board. Then I glued the image, printed on regular office printer/copy paper. No real difference in process than what I described here except I had no acylic underpainting and, when it came time to peel off the paper, I didn't add any other color. Just soaked the paper with a spray bottle to loosen those fibers and started in.
I thought with this silvery metallic background that B&W would be best (at least for starters). Some of the little texture-y spotty things are actually reflected light from the slightly crinkled foil I glued the print to. Some crinkles from the foil also show.
These are HIE negative scans. My first effort shows an area where some of the printer ink lifted off, in the darkest tonal range on the sidewalk. Sniffle.

Not really a difficult process, and I had a few canvas boards I'd picked up when I started messing with collage, but never used.
All comments welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking!
