Great idea! Thanks for the tip, Veronica 😊

I'm so glad to see you found value in this video ~ I love sharing and teaching 😊

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for the kind words. 😊I used an Embos It Dabber from Ranger before applying the embossing powder. It is convenient to have one, and there is also a pen you can use for smaller areas and not always have to use the stamp pad. The round tool is called a Stamp Barron from SpeedBall Art. I also have an old iron I picked up from a thrift shop that I use; it works just as well. For the sides, I've used mini stamp pad ink. Mine is from Stampin-Up.

@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter Thank you!!

I'm so glad to see you found value in my videos 😊

It is a wooden box; however, it also goes by wooden canvas 😊

Thank you, I'm so glad to see you liked it😊

Unfortunately, there is no video, as I bought the handmade paper from an art store. 😊

Thank you 😊

I preferred not to use large strips for this journal front. When I use smaller strips of tape, there are more places for the blackening to "grip on," adding more interest and depth to my projects. However, I've done projects where I've only used long strips; usually, the end result I have in mind determines the size of my strips. 😊

Awe, thank you, those are great tips. I will remember to use them next time. 😊

Thank you so much. I'm glad to see you found value in the video. The tools are on backorder from my supplier, and I hope to have them sooner rather than later. 😊

The world is so big, but the world of art can bring us all together to see things from all over the world💯

Thank you so much 😊

Спасибо - Thank You😊

That is exciting, starting with embossing. You can use aluminum, pewter, or copper for embossing. You can check out my online store for the tools and metal. Here is the link for you to have a look at. (esmericart.com/storefront-shopping-for) I buy my beeswax from a local beekeeper. It is best to use unbleached beeswax. Also, pewter is currently unavailable but will be available soon - the problem was solved, and I am waiting for my order to arrive. 😊

@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter Thank you so much, madam. :)

Grazie ~ Sto valutando la spedizione in Italia. 😊Ho già iniziato a spedire in Germania. (I hope my Google Translate makes sense)

Thank you for your kind words.😊 It makes me happy to see you find value in the videos; I'm holding thumbs to getting back to recording sooner rather than later.

Please let me know as soon as you have pewter, I need some urgently. Thanks in advance.

Currently, I do not have a video on filling with wax. Due to health issues, I haven't been able to record videos for some time now; however, when I start again, I will do a video on fillers, including wax.😊

Thank you, & I do hope you will feel well again soon.

Awe, thank you for your kind words. It makes me so happy to see you find value in my videos. Happy embossing! 😊

Thanks for watching the video, and glad to see you like it. My book is almost full, and it is time to "cover" the next cover. 😊

Using embossing folders and dies reduces time, especially when preparing for craft markets. I recently invested in a couple of folders that do the embossing and cutting simultaneously. 😊

Great idea to use drink cans and turn them into jewelry or art!

That's awesome, Judy; teabags are so versatile ~ happy collaging. 😊

Thanks for the tip; it does work well; I tried it on another project.😊

Yes, I've created the layers using high-relief embossing on a single sheet of pewter; it is not done in the traditional high-relief way. Here is a link to a similar design where I show how to create the different layers step-by-step. I've also cut out this one to adhere to a wooden box. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN-PktKrurXUqHk.html

Sandra, if you are referring to wood disks, some have difficulty getting smooth edges, depending on the wood species. I usually start with a coarser grid sanding paper and end with a very fine one. Sometimes, I use an emery board to create a rounded edge. When I adhere two pieces of metal back to back together, I sometimes use a thin strip of metal tape to finish it. I hope this is helpful to you. 😊

Thank you for watching; I'm glad you've enjoyed it. 😊

Gracias😊

Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy embossing! 😊

A paper stump can flatten the un-embossed areas between your design. When using the paper stump, place your pewter on a hard surface and work on the front of the pewter, similar to when I removed the texture I added to the background around the daisies. If you need more info, feel free to email me at [email protected] ~ I'm glad you are finding value in the videos.😊

I wish you many happy teabag fun playing time. There is so much we can do with the teabag papers.😊

Who knew teabags are an art medium ~ so much fun to incorporate them into art.😊

I'm so glad you found value in this video ~ happy transferring.😊

It makes me so happy to see you love this project.😊

Thank you; I'm looking forward to starting embossing again, and the "break out" detail videos will be top of the list. 😊

Für Kupfer braucht man anderes Werkzeug und ja man muss da auch fest Drücken. Aluminium ist das beste für dieses Hobby.

😊

Brass is tough to work with. Pewter and aluminum is more "user-friendly." 5 mil copper is also suitable for embossing.

I want yor tools please send me.

Any metal you use would need to be backfilled. We usually use beeswax to fill the embossing or high-relief "cavities." For your purpose, the beeswax might be too soft; I suggest filling it with resin. As for which metal to use, most of the metals will pick up scratch marks, which can transfer to your paper. Copper, 8 mil, or 32 gauge is more challenging to emboss; however, it might give you the best results. Have a look at Basic Copper (basiccopper.com); they have lots of info on the different copper options for embossing. (ps. This answer is long overdue 😊)

Awe, thank you. Kathie, you can download the design for personal use in the description under "show more." 😊

There is just something about the Hamso symbol; one of my favorites. 😊

Sorry… I asked too soon!

@@kathiekarancz964, 😂here is the link to my Pinterest board, where you will find the mandala design. www.pinterest.ca/EsmericMixedMediaPewterArt/design-inspiration-for-metal-embossing/ Have fun with it 😊

Paverpol is a fabric/textile hardener. Paverpol and Powertex are the two "big name brands"; however, others are also available. 😊

Glad you've enjoyed the video😊

The art in Santa Fe is beautiful, and so many galleries and museums to visit. Can you remember which gallery you saw the teabag art piece, please?

@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter It was near the Vivo Gallery in the 700 block, but not sure if it was that one. We only visited 4.

@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter I double checked and it is at Vivo Contemporary. :)

@@gailmariage5318, thank you so much 😊

It is a stamp baren, also called a printing baren from Speedball. (barren is often spelled with two r's as well 😊)
