Copper Embossing

Playing around with embossing on metal has really been fun.
I cut the randomly cut the pieces into rectangles and with a plain
embossing tool with a tiny ball tip I sketch little drawings.


I dip the piece in a liver of sulfur solution, that darkens the copper.
The fun part for me is buffing the piece and seeing the final result.

paint and pastels:



They may become new paper dolls.

I could use these same images over and over with different color-ways.
