I just finished etching my first texture plate and it’s beautiful I’m soooo excited! I watched the video several times and by the time I was ready to try it I was so confident about the steps I wasn’t at all nervous like I’ve been when following some how to videos 🤪 I’m so excited and can’t wait to test out as soon as I clean up my etching supplies! Thanks Leslie for making this video, I’m going to check out the other ones asap!

Thank you so much! I just finally tried this - been meaning to for a while. It came out beautiful! I took you passionate hinges class a couple of years ago and used the floral pattern you gave us, traced it in my Silhouette software and cut it out on a Cameo 4. Spent a LOT of time weeding that sucker! But it was worth it.

Awesome video! Make your own design plates, wow. Really save some money and create any design you want. Ive been using card stock that I cut with my laser but my Cameo has just been sitting. I may switch back for a cleaner edge cut. Your homemade plates look better than the ones sold via Rio Grande for $50 - $80!

Thank you for your steel etching tutorial

Great demo. One tip... If you start with the arm at the top it is easier to start rolling as you're pushing down instead of pulling up.

this etching technique is great > i am moving over from printmaking to jewellery making . Just bought and rolling mill . Still have a lino press. Since finishing fine art uni BA i have not made any new etching plates not being able to accommodate the acids . This type of etching is incredible and so very liberating using no acids. FELL INSPIRED !! Thank you
