Embossing is one of many ways to add texture to paper.
I went a little crazy a couple years ago when I saw this article in Bound & Lettered,
a magazine for book & letter artists. This article is by Carol Dubosch. In the link you will find a downloadable PDF of the script seen above she created & teaches in workshops .
I based an entire alphabet plus variations on her script&
cut my own embossing plates from water color paper.
My tracing light box is indispensable for this process.
The process is time intensive as each letter, & at times
elements of the same letter, has to be individually embossed into the paper.
Just another way I get into the zone.
What activity makes you forget about time & the rest of the world?
I love your posts. They take paper crafting to a new level, showing things I haven't tried, or even thought of. Like yesterday's deli paper. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. rather an addiction, but a good one don't you think? Better than gambling.
