A Step Further

Since our last meeting I have had time to play with the bits of metal that we looked at.  I have used a combination of metals - copper and brass shim, plus some tomato puree tube.  I used the ribbler on the brass shim, putting it through twice.

The most successful piece was this one that had been heat treated, freehand embossed on a soft background, then embossing powder was added.  Finally I used two lots of alcohol ink - Rust and Meadow - to further enhance the colour.  I was quite pleased with it.
