Back Cover InformationThis is the ultimate book on using thick embossing enamels. Opulent Opals will bring out the artist in you.

Whether you are a beginner or someone who has used Opals Embossing Enamels before, you will find invaluable information in the 'How to' chapter.

At the end of each technique section a number of Frequently Asked Questions are answered and these will give you an even better understanding of the process.
About the AuthorsOver the last few years we have had fun creating all sorts of wonderful projects with Opals. When we started out, we began with the basics and were amazed at what we could achieve with a heat tool. The more we experimented, the more ideas popped into our heads. What if we used a skillet? What if we poured the Opals into ice-cube trays? What if we made free-form shapes with no backing at all? What if, what if? Each time we posed a question and played with the Opals Embossing Enamel, we usually created a fantastic new piece of artwork. We encourage each and every one of you to experiment and play with these products and come up with your own happy 'accidents'. The pages of this book are filled with numerous step-by-step guides, including how to use Opals for the first time, marbling and pouring mauls. It also has many different and exciting projects to wow your friends. As well as helpful tips and tricks, there is a gallery of ideas to push your thinking outside the square, and a resource guide so you can find your closest shops for purchasing any required products or tools. Happy creatings!
