Each
piece is hand inscribed with a stylus onto a
sheet-metal of 0.1mm thickness. The metal is an alloy made of
aluminum, tin and pewter. It will never rust nor will it
need to be polished. The metal is very malleable and easy to
work with. First, on the back side of the metal you inscribe the
design, creating a relieved area on the front of the metal,
then carefully sculpt or outline the relieved area shaping the
lines of the design as tightly as possible. |

Once
the embossing process is finished, proceed to mounting the work on a
piece of wood. Usually pieces are mounted on wood of
1/2" thickness. This is used mainly for icons and crosses.
Different shapes of wood are used for boxes, frames, clocks and more. |

Once
you have mounted the metal onto the wood you can apply a patina to give
it an antique look. |
