Any metal object, such as a box or picture frame, can be made more attractive with embossing. Here are twenty projects which, when combined with the new ease of pliable foils, will have you creating beautiful objects in no time. The tools you'll need, the materials required, as well as a guide to getting used to new techniques, are all explained thoroughly. Emboss stripes onto a metallic herd of wandering zebras (the white are highlighted, while the dark ones recede into the background). Make a watering can bloom with tulips. Adorn switchplate covers. From the Butterfly Bucket to the Bear Tracks Plaque, each project is fabulous!

An excellent book,
By Liz Turnbull (Denmark, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Weekend Crafter: Metal Embossing: 20 Simple Projects with Aluminum, Copper & Brass Foils (Paperback)
This book has clear, detailed instructions to complete some lovely projects. As a newcomer to embossing I found the clear instructions, technical tips and excellent photographs make me want to get started straight away and have given me confidence to have a go. I would recommend this book.

This review is from: The Weekend Crafter: Metal Embossing: 20 Simple Projects with Aluminum, Copper & Brass Foils (Paperback)
Information as to necessary materials, techniques, & directions for individual projects was thorough & easy to understand. Furthermore, the photos of finished projects were inspiring. It was obvious that this book had been written by a person who thoroughly knew her craft, rather than by a "dabbler" who was quickly throwing out a half-baked book for a popular market. I was extremely pleased with this book, as opposed to another one I ordered by B.M.

Great for all levels of crafting art,
This review is from: The Weekend Crafter: Metal Embossing: 20 Simple Projects with Aluminum, Copper & Brass Foils (Paperback)
This book offers clearly defined techniques, simple step-by-step projects and examples a highly professional artwork at the end of the book. The author lists and displays tools in use and provides templates with the proper enlargement percentages. I recommend this book for crafters wanting a new look to their projects and fine artists wanting to expand their materials base.
