hi preethi

Materials of metal embossing are not that much costly. We need a few basic tools to work with metals sheets



Hi hema

I’m in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City><st1lace>Abu Dhabi</st1lace></st1:City>. I’m not much sure. I heard that in Rolla, opposite side of Sharjah palace hotel, there is one stationery shop available all types of painting materials.

Materials:
Aluminum sheet
Tools
Ball pointed pen
Trace of the design
Blanket or cushion
Brown anti rust liquid
Cotton
Brush
Kerosene.
Method:
Keep ready a picture that you what to emboss. tape the picture to the metal sheet and applying force draw with a ball point pen over the trace so that the impression of the design comes out on the metal sheet prominently. Remove the picture when done. Put dots around the design with the ball pen using force. This dots around the embossed figure will make the art look more attractive.
Keep a blanket or cushion on the table and place the reverse side of the picture on it and emboss the picture by pressing hard with the embossing tool. When it is turned the on the right side, figures will be slightly projecting (embossed). Now paint the out lines of the pictures with black colour. Colour the background of the picture with anti rust. Take some cotton and keep it inside a piece of cotton cloth and tie it. This can be used to dip the brown rust and applied on the background thickly so that the background will have a dark appearance. To give lighter shade, mix little kerosene to the anti rust and apply it on the back ground.This can be framed after a day.
