A rolling mill? Yeah, they are neat! I almost sold mine once, but glad I didn’t.

This is a beautiful little experiment–I do paper cuts as well and I’d be proud of those!

BTW, because you included settings for non-PG material (which is very welcome, BTW), I moved this post to the Beyond the Manual section.

You’ll get the best results if you sandwich the paper and annealed metal between two sheets of metal that are harder than the metal you are embossing but softer than the steel of the rolling mill. you can also emboss with dried leaves, fabric, lace etc.

Thanks! That leaf is great :sunglasses:
I have textured non-ferrous metal with a cleaned rusted steel sandwiched to protect the rollers.

Once you patina and then polish the high areas that low relief pattern looks amazing.
And I love to roller print a pattern with a specific shape, then saw around it

Also…feathers work great!

Wow! :star_struck:
That is a neat way to transfer an image for the coping saw.
