Craft Book: Metal Sculpture and Embossing
An Easy to Do Method Without Welding or Brazing
by Lynn Paulin
1973 Hazel Pearson Handicrafts / James E. Gick
34 Pages

Before reading this book, you may have thought Metal Sculpture was an art form reserved only for professional artists. Many of you who wanted to try your hand at this fascinating subject were discouraged by the high cost of necessary equipment and supplies.

It is no longer true, in this book, the author has developed a method by which you can create beautiful and artistic Metal Sculptures that are both inexpensive and easy to do.

You start with a pair of scissors, a set of embossing tools, a spool or two of wire, a fast drying epoxy and a few feet of 36 gauge copper. You learn how to use gold leaf to turn copper into lustrous gold flowers... to duplicate, with ordinary household salt and ammonia, the natural, brilliant blue-green patina that weather and age produces on copper... and to use flame on your gas stove or an inexpensive propane gas torch to change the color of copper to shimmering iridescent purples and reds.
