I love working with the sound of the rain too! :)

[@kimthomson400]

It's strangely comforting :)

[@okayokay2010]

Absolutely wonderful

[@Julie-hf7mo]

Absolutely brilliant! Thankyou so much for sharing your hints and tips. Just what I was searching for 😍

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

Glad it was useful Julie :)

[@posi55]

OMG this is awesome !! I never thought that this was even possible !

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

Thank you :) If you don't have a rolling mill you can also hammer metal sheet onto these textures which can work well.

Use less tension on the rollers you will get less curve on the metal

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

Yes, it's always a balance between not curving the metal and getting a deep texture imprint. These metal samples were very thin but thicker metal requires less pressure and curves less.

What tool did you use to create that gold dust what is it called

[@blancapacheco7274]

Where can I purchase your mill

[@annettejamieson4489]

What is the best gauge of metal to do this with?

[@gabrielasteinmetz4301]

Can the stamp with the butterfly as an example be done with a hide hammer or do you absolutely need a rolling mill? Beautiful work. Thank you!

[@angeyates7155]

I think you showed how to do textures without a rolling mill Kim, but I can't find the video anywhere. Did I remember this rightly?

[@mohammadfaris8712]

Such a great idea can i use it on gold

[@59chris1]

Can you use that machine to make the copper thinner instead of beating it out with a hammer?

[@kernowcraft]

Yes!

[@charmspeakjewelrydesignstu7224]

What gauge or millimeters metal do you recommend?

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

Generally speaking the thicker the metal, the more your chosen texture can be pushed into that metal but we regularly use anything between 0.3mm - 3mm thick.

Thank you!

Could I do a masking tape sandwich with a feather?

[@RajKumar-vo8vm]

I like you! 🙁

Bitte warum so ein video über einen ganz banalen Arbeitsvorgang? Vielleicht sollte ich auch mal ein Video machen über den Grbrauch meines 300gr-Hammers?
