It’s simple to create intricate designs on metal—and impart luster, radiance, and dimension—with the centuries-old art of embossing. This in-depth workshop, packed with close-up images and instructional photos, explains it all: tracing and transferring patterns, cutting designs from the metal and attaching them to a surface, filling in, adding color and patina, finishing and varnishing, and texturizing. Novices will find out how to use a wide variety of tools and products, and watch a project being made from start to finish. An entire photographic section showcases a range of embossing designs, with their richly diverse textures. The exquisite projects—all with full-size patterns—include frames and framed designs, boxes, clocks, glass items (vases, decanters), and jewelry.

I really like this book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Metal Embossing Workshop (Paperback)
There are several reasons why I like this book. One is the completeness of the information and descriptions of the techniques. That made it easy to follow and get results I was happy with. Another reason I like this book is that it showed many different types of projects that embossed metal can be used on. As a mixed-media artist, this fueled my creative spirit and I have all sorts of ideas and plans. Lastly, the tips about the use of the tools and accessories (like using the paste to fill the back-side of the embossed design so that it doesn't get crushed, and the use of a piece of leather when embossing from the back to get a nice design)were, in my mind, the keys to my early success.

Great Book For Learning an Old Art Form,
By C. Brotman (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metal Embossing Workshop (Hardcover)
I met Ms. Muldoon at the Craft and Hobby show this past July, and she knows her stuff. She has not only published a great book with easy to follow instructions, photos, and inspirational projects, but she sells all the metal and tools to make this book work for the aspiring artist in everyone. The book details the use of tools and different metals but shows the reader how to apply special foils and cabachon stones. I would highly recommend this book.
