Melissa Muir just got mill for Christmas or will have but this looks grate and I will have to have a go thanks 😁😁😁

I love that design! I've worked with metal for years but never jewelry. My uncle and I modify custom cars, Harleys, trucks, homes ect. This looks like fun! I love the designs. Usually I just etch what we want with a dremel or acidic chemicals. We're all crafts men and women in the family. It's fun creating personal items that reflects ones self. It's so much more rewarding seeing the beautiful results of your hard work, especially if it's for someone dear to you. To me, all of the pieces we created together in our family felt like it will always be a part of us, even after we're gone. The house our family built together is a constant reminder.

I probably missed this contest because I don’t know how long this has been up, but I’m glad I’m finally seeing the face behind the name I’ve seen so much and excited about learning from you! I’m just starting jewelry making and doing some PMC among other things like learning to solder and manipulate metal. I’m 75, so you never get too old to learn and start something new! Thanks for being a teacher!

I'd definitely watch a Friday segment - You explain techniques so well and I go back to your videos to brush up before giving something a try. I love the lace texture you got on that metal - I'll have to pick some up and give it a try...great tip!

I've used the wrappers before and they are wonderful. Can't wait to look at the new ones you have listed!! Thank you so much.

What a great idea! I love tips that lead you to cross over into another medium. I would never have thought to use paper to texture metal! Thank you, Melissa.

i love this - i just (finally!) was able to buy a rolling mill and i'm so excited. i saw that someone mentioned a studio tour - if you haven't already done that i would love to see it. i am also also interested in learning more about forming, especially anticlastic, etc, for cuffs. tips that go beyond the basic technique, recommended tools, and all that!

Hello Melissa - Thank you for your very clear and easy-to-follow videos. I recently met the idea of using cupcake wrappers to give texture and your video made an excellent follow-up and "reminder of what to do". I particularly like the idea of using the heavy watercolour paper as padding when feeding stuff through the rolling mill and your way of making sure that the pressure of the mill wasn't so great it distorted the metal was just great. I have been fiddling with the numbers on the top dials up to now and what a pain that is!

This is a great tip! The design options are endless. Thank you for the video!

Love this ! I wanted to try something new with my rolling mill to use for my jewelry business . Using the cupcake wrappers I can make Cuffs, Earrings and all kinds of jewelry and have Beautiful jewelry impressions . Thanks so much !

great video! I love seeing different rolling mill textures. I have a new Potter Hydrolic press and would love to see many different ways of using it.

Thank you so very much for all of your tips and tricks! Love your channel!!

Thanks Melissa I would love a set of cupcake textures. .. looking forward in your future videos. ..

I love the idea of using these textured papers. Now I know one thing I can use my Sili Portrait for. Thanks for the video.

Such a great idea!! I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful find.

I love texturing with my rolling mill. I would never have guessed such a fine imprint would be given by such a thin piece of paper. I'm off to experiment. Thanks for the inspiration!

❤ the texture! I know you did a video on how to use your rolling Mill, but I was wondering if you could give some feedback as to which one to buy when on a budget or at least narrow a few down?

Loved this tutorial about the cupcake wrappers.😊

I love your idea of using Cupcake Wrappers to get textures!! Rolling Mill Resources also has cool designs.

Melissa you are totally Amazing..you just keep getting more and more knowledgeable about what you do ..lol and I still envy your work room the most !

Nice clear and useful video as usual, Melissa. Thanks. I'm really interested in getting better at two things right now...getting a good impression all the time with my rolling mill instead of sometimes, and making good jump rings as well. I'd love to see a video on either topic. (I know you have several on the rolling mill, but I see I'm not the only one struggling a bit...)

I really enjoy your tutorials and am learning lots. Thank your for sharing really appreciate it.

Easy technique and beautiful result. Thanks for sharing :)

I loved the cupcake liner ideas. I have lots of new ideas about texturing. Now all I need to go with those ideas is a rolling mill. I have lots of questions about everything in metal as a retired woodworking teacher it's all new to me. I could ask enough questions for your Friday segment to keep you busy until you retire. I think whatever you call your Friday segment will be fine. Name is not nearly as important as content. The fact that you even ask is impressive.

Melissa, you sure get my creative juices flowing! My comment is since I don't have a rolling mill I'm going to try to use the cupcake papers and see if i can get an impression with my Big Kick! Wish me luck! I love a challenge. Your work is amazing!

I would love some videos on that subject as the smaller scale has a lot of challenges for me. Keep sharing the knowledge! Diana Reeves MDEBR Jewelry Designs

I've not seen the cupcake wrappers before. I don't bake, so I don't even go in that section of the craft stores. Now I may have to spend more time looking around and thinking...would this item work in a rolling mill or hydraulic press? Apparently just about anything will work in one or the other. I love you videos and tutorials. You make everything easy to understand. Thank you for all the info you include. FUNdamental Fridays or maybe Friday Fun Metal FAQs.

thank you thank you...finally got my Durston rolling mill but a bit afraid to use it...after saving up so long, don't want to damage it! I am going to look at Amazon for the cupcake folders now! You are so generous to share your expertise

Could you possibly answer more detailed questions about setting up the acetylene torch. like showing the regulator and which to get, any special attachments, settings on regulator, type of fittings and hose, etc…. I have one, but feel intimidated about setting it up safely. anything special to do when turning it and off? Also, do you use ventilation when soldering or filing metals? what do you suggest? thank you!! Would also love to see more videos on using gallery wire carefully :)

Awesome! I’m going to try this method on my next project.

Good luck. I would love to see your results.

How about 'Follow-up Fridays"? Love the patterns. I wish I had a rolling mill. I sometimes use embossing folders in my sizzix big shot machine with thin gauges of annealed metal (like 26 ga for earrings) and it works great! But it does damage the folders a bit, and I like to use them for my paper crafting too.

Good project Melissa!!!

This is a really great help. Thank you

Enjoyed your tutorial on the rolling press

G Day Melissa great video loved it. I have a questions what are your three favorite tools you cant live without?Take care Jen

thank you so much! it would be awesome if you could show how to add a bezel set stone to a cuff similar to what you made in this video

really a good trick!! thanks!

Love using the rolling mill and always get excited to see what comes out the other side 😊. I've never tried cupcake wrappers but now will for sure. I always enjoy your videos and tips. I wanted to ask your recommendation on purchasing stakes/ hammers for forming cuff bracelets. I don't have any at this point and $$ is a consideration. I know it can be quite an investment so what is one or two to start with? FYI Friday is my suggestion for your new segment. Thanks Melissa.

Cool idea. My question is: what are ways you can make your own, custom bezel wire?

Thanks for the video and the idea of using the cupcake wrappers. I have never heard of cupcake wrappers.Will you be doing a video on etching sometime in the future?

Thanks so much for this informative video and giveaway. My question is, what do you consider to be your most versatile tool in your shop?

Okay, Melissa, you said you wanted questions :-) My question is how do I set a cabochon stone onto a curved ring? Step bezel??? And by the way, thanks for the cupcake wrapper links. What an innovative way to texturize with the rolling mill.

Beautiful and good!! 😍👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thanks Melissa! Just one more reason for me to get a new Pepe rolling mill!

Melissa, I love your video's. You teach in such a way so the information is understood, even by a novice. I don't have a rolling mill or hydraulic press, yet, so even a hammering, do's and don't's type video would be good. How to care for and best hammer's to own for all purpose use. And, are there other ways are there to apply texture to metals? Thanks so much. How about Friday Weekly Wrapup?

Awesome info. Thank you!! Melissa, do you have advice on how to form a textured piece ?? Anne

I really appreciate all of the information that you share with us - I especially enjoy the hydraulic press videos. My question today is about econo rolliong mills - I have a small inexpensive mill and I am very new to the process. I have not had success with getting an impression - what are the advantages to purchasing a more expensive mill - do they give better results easier or will any mill give good results if the process is done properly? Thanks June

Thank you, Melissa, for this video. I am always looking for new ways to texture metal, and these designs are wonderful. My question: I just moved and my studio will be in my basement. I have an EZ torch (propane) but I'm worried about using it in my basement. What is the best torch/fuel system for that location?

Awesome info! Thanks

Went to Michaels this morning looking for cupcake wrappers. They were all out. The number available online (100 average) is way more than I'll ever use. Too bad there isn't a "variety pack" available. Yes, very interested in being in the "giveaway" Melissa. Thank you for all your videos.

Your job is excellent 👍👍

Love this! I just picked up on clearance at Michaels some patterned laser cut paper with a Halloween theme...was so excited to test out on the rolling mill I just got (yesterday!), it worked perfectly! I'll be on the lookout now for any kinds of laser cut paper. My question...I've also seen embossing folders in the craft store, is there a way they can be used somehow with a rolling mill? Newbie to your channel and I'm learning so much, thank you!

There are actually a couple of great tools for adding holes on pieces. I have a 3- and 4-hold punch that are my go-to. They are listed on my shop at www.kcjewelbox.com. I also have a 2-hold punch that works well. In addition there are a number of hole punching pliers and even drill bits used in a flexshaft, dremel or drill press that would accomplish this task.

Loved this!
