The Art of Embossing Metal

One of my favourite crafts of all, I love the art of repousse.

Repousse is the art of stretching and refining in metal either manually or mechanically to create a textured piece.

On these technique samplers we used six different techniques, creating a reference for any future project.

I gave the ladies at PDA the option to either colour their piece using Alcohol inks or to use a black acrylic wash ( this gives a patina effect to the pewter centre piece.

Check out the pictures I think they turned out rather good.

Thanks for looking
