Metal foils can be used for something else than headgear. I embossed Colonia (the mascot of the monthly brony meetup in Cologne) into a piece of golden foil. There are embossing foils in some different colors. At first I was going to make the different colors of Colonia from different colored foils, however it looks a lot cleaner to instead paint the different parts with edding colors (which do not obliterate the metalic look). Figures like this might make for nice Christmas Tree decorations.
I took a couple of images with different lighting settings.
