What do you need to get started?

- A roll of copper or foil, I use:St Louis Crafts 36 Gauge Copper Metal Foil Roll, 12 Inches x 10 Feet and St Louis Crafts Colored Aluminum Foil – 12 Inches x 25 Feet – Gold
- A foil punch 1.5″ 38mm (or whatever size you want to work in).
- A piece of mat board or cardboard as your work surface.
- Some ideas of what to emboss.
Ideas: Sanskrit letters, zodiac symbols, chess pieces, childrens’ names in bubble type, labyrinths, spirals, ancient ornamental patterns, landscapes, angel figures, mandalas, tarot deck…

For more equipment tips and instruction see Gorby’s metal embossing videos and I highly recommend this one in particular
