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".
