Hi Lee...

    I was hanging out in the local Library a few weeks ago, and came
    across a book on embossing various metal sheet materials.....using
    implements like popsicle sticks, pens, pencils.....more for wall
    placques, but showed some items of adornment... 

    I thought "Aha! For next year's Ren Faire costumery..." 

    Suggestions for source material was as varied as purchased copper
    sheet....to the heavier aluminum baking pans and things like frozen
    pot pies come in...stuff can be cut to size with ordinary scissors... 


    Maybe not heavy enough to be jewlery......... 

    Also, for the support to do the embossing on, the recommended
    substrate was a thick pad of newspaper....
