hai , i went through that thread. really amazing, professional work. actually i dont know about the thickness of the metal. but i think here we get only this. it is not foil like aluminium sheet. i hv seen embossing done on that too. i hv used fabric colours for the dress. anti rust paint is used for making the shades of brown/golden. for the ornaments i actually used 3d glitter which is used in fabric. i havnt learnt this properly . these are my experiments. i dont knw whether it is correct . thank u vidhya for ur valuable comments.
