Does anyone use a milk frother (i.e. aerolatte) or any other spinning wand frother to froth their milk and make latte art?  I have a simple stovetop setup for espresso drinks with a bialetti brika and a frother wand.  I usually heat the milk in the microwave and froth it afterwards.  I can get very nice microbubbles and can froth up a ton of foam for cappucinos but whenever I try to get light foam for latte art, I end up with too much and can't pour it.  Any advice is gladly taken.

If the foam isn't homogenized with the liquid, you will not be able to use it to pour art.  

If you can homogenize it, then there is hope.

In either case, you can always etch.
