Here is a rolling mill tip from @hangingmossstudio - “I ordered a scrap bag of lace on Etsy ($18 incl shipping). I glued my favorite pieces to paper, using slightly watered down white glue, applied with a paintbrush. After they thoroughly dried, I cut out each piece. That's it! They are ready for the rolling mill! Works great on annealed metal, as well as leather.” If you are newer to rolling mills be sure read my blog about them! It includes topics like protecting your rollers (use a “sandwhich” of thin metal) when rolling with any texturing stuff! Thanks Lara for sharing with us, we appreciate it! #rollingmill #texturingmetal
