Jean, what thickness is the best for the aluminum sheets? .011?

I suggest wearing gloves when working with Aluminum.

I've read of some connections to Alzheimers and possible other connections.
I used to work in a manufacturing plant that used aluminum components - that's one reason I was looking for info about it yrs ago.

sandy - it's whatever thickness the offset printers use. I just use their "used" sheets -the ones they normally recycle.

something to think about
 
Maybe this contributed to my getting Parkinson's at age 50...

copper flowers
 
I've given up making aluminum flowers. Instead I work with sheets of copper & brass to make flowers. It's pretty much the same set of skills. But with copper you don't have to paint - and I did learn to solder to hold the pieces together.
