Tips  for  texturing  metal  with  a  rolling  mill  from  @jblissstudios  -  “Creating  texture  with  the  rolling  mill  is  an  easy  and  fun  way  to  add  dimension  to  your  work.  
In  this  video  I  use  a  piece  of  shielding  I  got  a  re-use  store,  a  piece  of  mesh  armature  wire,  and  a  leaf.
In  order  to  protect  the  plates  of  the  rolling  mill  I  sandwich  my  annealed  sterling  silver  between  two  work  hardened  pieces  of  brass.  
Keep  in  mind  that  your  material  will  stretch  in  the  rolling  mill.  It’s  just  like  the  old  souvenir  pennies  that  I  remember  getting  as  a  kid.  I  like  to  start  out  with  circles  so  I  end  up  with  an  oval.  You  can  also  texture  the  piece  first  and  cut  out  what  you’d  like  after.“  Thank  you  for  sending  Joanna  (and  following  up  with  me  🫶😉)  I  love  the  unique  content  this  community  so  generously  shares!  These  textures  look  awesome!
