The dictionary definition of repousse' is of course raised relief hammered out from the underside of a sheet of metal, and I can see that you are in fact getting there. However there is an easier way and one that was indeed used by Roman artist craftsmen where much thinner fine metal was used, this is with 5 to 7 thou' inch thick sheet metals even silver and gold.
I think that a craftsman such as yourself would enjoy having a go at this kind of repousse' also, in fact you would find it so much easier and a faster way of achieving the end product having said that keep up the good work.
