U.T.E.E.

 

UTEE is short for Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel - and it is amazing what you can do with this stuff!  Here are a few examples of artwork done with some of this embossing powder and a heat gun.

 

This is my most recent piece - a two-part brooch. The top is a giant jigsaw piece, and the bottom a die-cut circle of card, with a twirl of wire and a couple of crescent beads added in the middle.
