face="Requiem II," size="5" color="black"<p>I am a metal artist living with my husband in the foothills of Fresno, California. I got started in metal when I changed careers in 2000 to pursue welding. During that time, I had an opportunity to work with a local blacksmith/artist and was exposed to the world of metal "art." I was blown away when I saw the scope of what a person could create out of metal and I wanted to be part of that! I started my business with the intention of creating unusual metal and copper art with various metal working techniques from welding to forging to repousse. I particularly enjoy making things out of metal that people would not expect to see made out of metal. I also specialize in the techniques of repousse and chasing, which are basically advanced metal embossing techniques. My goals with this process are to get away from the more traditional themes of subject matter, such as the Arts and Crafts era styles, and challenge myself with more unique subject matter and details. I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I enjoyed creating it!<p><CENTER></FONT><p> <body> <html><!--"''"--> </p> <p><html> <body><CENTER><FONT face="Requiem II," size="5" color="660018"<p><p><p><STYLE TYPE="text/css"> a:link { color: 000088; text-decoration: none } a:active { color: 440044; text-decoration: none } a:visited { color: black; text-decoration: none } a:hover { color: blue; text-decoration: underline } </STYLE> Click on this link to go to my off site BLOG <A HREF="http://acopperrosemetalart.blogspot.com/">"A COPPER ROSE METAL ART BLOG"</A> which is filled with information covering anything from upcoming events/shows to metal working trivia to website enhancement and more !<p><CENTER></FONT><p> <body> <html><!--"''"--> </p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="3" color="000000"><div style="text-align: center"> <br /></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: georgia,palatino">__________________________________________________________________________</div><br /> <!--"''"--></font> </p> <p><CENTER><!-- Begin Official PayPal Seal --><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=info%40themetalshoppe%2enet" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/icon/verification_seal.gif" border="0" alt="Official PayPal Seal"></A><!-- End Official PayPal Seal --><!--"''"--> </p> <p><html> <head> <title> PAYPAL.... <title> </head><body> <CENTER><FONT face="Requiem II," size="6" color="red"<p><b>I am now accepting payments through PayPal !</b><p></font> </body> </html><!--"''"--> </p> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" background="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tr> <TD HEIGHT="15" COLSPAN="3" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/blank.gif" BORDER="0" ALT=""></TD> </tr> <tr> <td width="15" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/blank.gif" WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0" ALT=""></td> <td><img alt="repousseinfo/begreptech1.excerpt.JPG" border="" src="sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/repousseinfo/.pond/begreptech1.excerpt.JPG.w180h234.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="0" width="180"></td> <td width="15" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/blank.gif" WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0" ALT=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="15" colspan="3" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/blank.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0" ALT=""></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <p><CENTER><TABLE BORDER="8" BORDERCOLOR="000000" CELLSPACING="5" CELLPADDING="5" > <CAPTION><FONT face="Requiem II,"size"2"><b>PREVIEW OF BOOK - Click on images below to enlarge<b></b></Font></CAPTION> <TR> <TD ALIGN = "center"><A HREF="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_rCRu4lNKvpk/S6egmTkMajI/AAAAAAAAADg/do3RsPmtUuU/s512/begreptech2.excerpt.JPG"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.acopperrose.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/repousseinfo/.pond/begreptech2.excerpt.JPG.w84h110.jpg"></A></TD> <TD ALIGN = "center"><A HREF="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_rCRu4lNKvpk/S6egm0e_q9I/AAAAAAAAADk/tjFZGhrw5vw/s512/begreptech3.excerpt.JPG"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.acopperrose.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/repousseinfo/.pond/begreptech3.excerpt.JPG.w84h110.jpg"></A></TD> <TD ALIGN = "center"><A HREF="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_rCRu4lNKvpk/S6egm2wvGKI/AAAAAAAAADo/5FGT3OKIcRs/s512/begreptech4.excerpt.JPG"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.acopperrose.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/repousseinfo/.pond/begreptech4.excerpt.JPG.w84h110.jpg"></A></TD> <TD ALIGN = "center"><A HREF="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_rCRu4lNKvpk/S6egnOkZHMI/AAAAAAAAADs/mNmRvF2eb8A/s512/begreptech5.excerpt.JPG"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.acopperrose.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/repousseinfo/.pond/begreptech5.excerpt.JPG.w84h110.jpg"></A></TD></TR> </TABLE><!--"''"--> </p> <p><html> <body><CENTER><FONT face="Requiem II," size="5" color="660018"<p>MY E-BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE <p> HARD COPY or PDF DOWNLOAD. <p>36 pages - 61 instructional full color images<p> _____________________________________<p> While this is classified as a "beginning" book, it will provide you with a solid foundation to easily move on to more advanced projects in the future.<p>_____________________________________<p> You can pay with a check or via PayPal. <p>ALSO AVAILABLE: BASIC REPOUSSE TOOLS FOR SALE!
