Wildflower Vines Metal Embossed Bracelet & Earrings


This is a new product line for me - Metal Embossing.  I start with a sheet of brass and punch out a disk with my Swanstrom Disk Cutter (which I absolutely love!)  Then I emboss the disk with my Vintaj BigKick and for this pattern I used the Vintaj DecoEmboss Wildflower Vines folder.  I run the disk in the tumbler to remove any rough edges.  After the embossed disk is smooth and clean, I then patina it.  For this bracelet and earrings set, I added Snowflake Jasper, Czech glass, Cultured Freshwater Pearls in Sage, Swarovski Pearls in Antique Brass, Picture Jasper and Sierra Agate.
