At is interesting to see what the results are of adding aluminum foil instead of silver foil in the reactive investigation. I particularly like the brown, reactive streaks that must have something to do with the French vanilla base AND the cyan frit in the star-shape. (The cyan star was formed by repurposing the paper left from cutting the aluminum star as a stencil....that is why both stars are the same shape and size.)

| Trial #6 - Layers, beginning with the bottom: white, French vanilla fine frit-cyan frit and aluminum foil, clear glass |
The concentration, as with earlier trials, once again appear to be concentrated around the edge of the cyan frit. I would really like to know if the reactive brown swirl is due to actual contact of glass OR the escaping vapors/gas moving away from the point of reactive contact (where the color is the most dense.)

| Trial #6 - Close up |
In the image below, the aluminum foil has retained it's shape, shine and silver-metallic color. I would like to do so additional trials to see if this pattern is consistent.

| Trial #6 - close up of aluminum star |
Notice in the close up image below that the concentration of air/gas bubbles are concentrated over the top of the cyan - clearly a reaction is happening here that is causing a chemical change - the color of the proximity glass changes and gas is released but isn't able to travel too far. I wonder if it would travel further along a stringer????

| Trial #6 - Close up of lower aluminum star and cyan frit |
Aesthetically speaking, I also find the color of the cyan, French vanilla interaction to be a warmer, more desirable tone!

| Trial #6 - Focus on aluminum |
