Metal embossing

This is an introduction about one of my techniques I use for my crafts.

Metal Embossing, is the creation of any kind of design or decoration on a piece of metal to make a relief adding a new dimension to the project. It's been used centuries a go in Europe for ornamental objects.

Embossing is an elegant process making things look more beautiful. A simple metal can become a beautiful piece of art.

I use hand tools to make a relief on the pewter, then is aged with paint and polished. Each creation can take several hours of work.



This is a "Celtic dragon box" , decorated with a "celtic dragon" on the top, with Celtic knots around the dragon. The sides of the box has been decorated with "Celtic birds".

This box is on sale, you can find it on my Etsy shop:
