Images on Metal with Inks & Stamps
by Jana Ewy

Jana Ewy creates images on metal with inks, embossing, stamps and more... with metal foils from AMACO. Design Originals has done it again!
BLOCKHEADS REVIEW:
If you've mostly been a paper artist and haven't done much stamping on other items, this book makes the transtion so easy. If you have just one black StazOn ink pad and some of the lightweight metal, in any color there seem to be an endless number of ideas here for a rubber stamper. Jana uses chalks on metal and seals it with a matte finish. She cuts the metal, uses paper punches on it dry embosses into it, heat embosses onto it, crumples it, distresses it. She even heats the copper with a heat gun to change it colors. Where has this book been all my stamping life?

Metal 101 Mesh & Wire
by Jana Ewy

Metal, mesh and wire by AMACO! Create fabulous jewelry, frames and more! You will be amazed with the projects that fill this book. Wire mesh is a product that has a different effect when heated. Learn how to create patterns with your heat gun.
BLOCKHEADS REVIEW:
There are a couple of projects here that use rubber stamps but most combine different colors of metal to create a pattern or design. It's a very nice book and has some fantistic projects if you enjoy crafting outside of rubber stamping. If rubber stamping is your primary passion, I recommend the Images on Metal instead.

Melt Art Impressions
by Suze Weinberg

The big book of UTEE art. Creating shapes with, stamping into and adding inclusions to UTEE.
BLOCKHEADS REVIEW:
This book is nice for those want to try Melt art without owning a Melting Pot. Most projects require just basic stamping supplies and UTEE.

Melt Art Impressions
by Suze Weinberg

Suze shows you how to stamp, heat, shape, emboss, embellish, mold, color, pour and more! Suze Weinberg knows it all. Her designs are one of a kind. If you like to rubber stamp this is the right book for you.
BLOCKHEADS REVIEW:
I'm writing this review as a person who often finds some of the end artwork that Suze makes "a little too funky for me." If you've watched Suze and love her art, this book is for you. If your tastes are a little simpler you will still likely enjoy the the section on faux dichroic glass and the uses for tinted clear UTEE that can look a lot like amber or vintage bottle green glass. Some of the clear tints over shrink shapes are quite beautiful.

Wire Baskets with Jigwork
by Mary Harrison

This book has 35 full color pages of ideas for using craft wire.
BLOCKHEADS REVIEW:
Not all these projects are wire baskets as the title suggests. It's actually kind of a nice beginner's book for playing with wire. It shows ornaments and basic wire wrapping and jigwork and how to use basic wire tools.
