Did you know that you can put all kinds of media through a rolling mill to impress a design? That notion sent me to the craft store looking for all kinds of crafty things to use. I came up with ribbon and paper borders for scrapbooking. Here's a sampling......

I love those pendants! And I NEED a rolling mill! So many fabulous possibilities....
Thanks, Christine! Yes, there are sooooo many wonderful possibilities and it's a great work out for your arms! LOL!
I really like the new look of the blog - very nice. Those pendants are so cute - can't believe you can do all that with a rolling mill. Metal Monday sounds great - love anything to do with metal!
I like the flowers, but really like the ribbon/woven look. I'd love to have a rolling mill to try. I love metal, too, especially copper and would love to be able to add that to my Kreationz.
I have to try working with a rolling mill. those are so lovely
I love metal!
Oh wow! Those are so very cool.
I can't wait to see what all you create with the new "toy"!
My favorite? Well, while I do tend to be a rather flower-loving chick, I am strangely drawn to the the one you made with the lacy-like ribbon. I like the rustic feel of it I think!
Yes yes yes you can do all that with a rolling mill! Sometimes I think I'm probably not going to like this pattern but try it anyways, and then it turns out I love it! It's fun to experiment!
Ok, if I worked with metal, I would so be learning how to do that. Those are so very cool.
