JULY POM READY FOR DOWNLOAD

This month's theme is "From the Sea". This character was inspired by a couple of different things...first, a trip to Sea World in June and also seeing a sea turtle in the wild while fishing off the Atlantic coast of Florida.  They are so much fun to watch as they glide through the water!

Now, they can be fun to create too!  Enjoy this months project.

Metal Embossing Made Easy on Cool2Craft

Today I shared a really Cool technique on how to emboss metal easily.

I used ArtEmboss from Amaco to create a beautiful textured pattern on the colored aluminum foil of choice.

You can view the archived show by clicking here

To go along with today's technique, I am offering a really Cool Kit.

You'll receive one sheet (4 1/2 x 9) of each of the colors below...PLUS


A signed copy of my Metal Jewelry 101 Book





This is a great way to try the metals without having to over buy a bunch of materials you dont need.  This book uses commonly found tools to create the jewelry.

Also check out my recorded class at CrafTECH University - Metal Jewelry 101.

Kit only $19.95 includes shipping
