From a very young age I was always demonstrating a creative flair and wild imagination. At 5 years old I taught myself to make foil sculptures. These are used to this day as mantelpiece decorations and sold at arts and crafts stalls. Now I wish to see if I could make this as famous as origami. Children need to be engaged and taken away from the TV screen and challenged to use their imagination. Also in this economic climate their also needs to be more cheaper forms of entertainment. To create the sculptures, all you spend is the cost of the foil.

I have witnessed foil art keeping children engaged for several hours. Its certainly got the attention of many adults also. If you are interested in more, then check out www.myspace.com/tinmancreations
