Embossed Copper Sheet and Acrylic (9in x 11in [23cm x 28cm]). Thanks to my friend Jude who reminded me of this technique the other day. I had actually made a piece this way when I was in middle school: an image of an exploding volcano with a mirror in the lava! Sadly I believe it's long gone.

ReplyDeleteany chance of a print based on this one?
This is what you find on the front of treasure chests. Yaaar!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a neat technique. I have a large sheet of copper but I'm planning on using it for welding since it's 1/8", either that or it will be my retirement fund...
ReplyDeleteOh, embossing! So much fun. You're always so good at every technique you put your hand to.
ReplyDeleteYou mean your parents didn't KEEP that awesome project!!??
ReplyDeleteMelissa: The technique is just called embossing as far as I know. They sell kits at most craft store, but really you just need a thin sheet of metal and a stylus of some sort to work on it with. Here's one explanation of the technique I found.
