Thanks for such a clear instructions, I'll definitely be giving this a go. Can you use acrylic paints to colour in after? Or different ink if you want to use water color paints?
This was really cool! I've never done anything like this before, but you've inspired me. I don't own a pasta maker, but I am going to check a couple of thrift stores first before investing full price. Thanks for the video! You're fun to watch.
Thank you so much. I had the idea I could use small embossing folders in a pasta machine, but of course they are hard! Now I have a way to etch. Grateful for your video.
wonderfully presented.... really enjoyed this! Will try as soon as I can figure out what to use as a press. I have a massive flower press, a tortilla press but no pasta maker. Going to look out for one! Thanks again :O)
This is awesome! You inspired me to get a pasta/clay roller and try it out. I love the grit of drypoint and have no press. I'll put results on my channel!
Maybe the dental tool will hurt you less if you modify it a bit. You can cut the plastic body of a used pen and glue the cut piece around that area of the dental tool that you are grabbing when you are cutting with it.
What a cool way method which makes me think, maybe one can do the same thing with a manual scrapbooking etching machine... similar in terms of rolling through to get even pressure!
This is so cool! I think the easiest thing to use would be an embossing machine, because it presses things together without curving them like the pasta maker. They start about $75, though.
Ooh an embossing machine would be a great idea! If you're on a budget though (and don't mind tiny prints!) you can't do any better than the pasta press!
Printmaking paper can cost about the same as watercolour paper, but has less sizing, so needs way shorter soaking. Also there are several brands now of oily printing ink that wash up in water - I love Charbonnel Aquawash for a stiff ink, AKua for a softer sloppier ink (also much less expensive). Thank you for the cool ideas!
I have chuckled several times during your demo. Laughed out loud on “fancy person etching”
How unique and very well explained! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talents

You're so sweet to say! And let us know if you try it out - it's really so much fun!
Do you have a rolling pin? Cause I've used mine. But I love this pasta maker idea & can't wait to try it. BTW, Pasta makers on Amazon for under $25

Thanks for your kind comment Brittany!

Very cool! I'm adding pasta maker to my list of things to search for at the thrift store!! :)
It's so fun and totally worth it!
This is a fantastic video! Subbed!! Obbsessed.
Wow.what a beginning clsss for beginners.lovely.
Try using a Dremel tool and you can get different textual marks with the different points.
I was wondering about this, have you used a Dremel on this kind of plastic?
This is awesome! You inspired me to get a pasta/clay roller and try it out. I love the grit of drypoint and have no press. I'll put results on my channel!
Ooh we're looking forward to seeing how it works for you!
I have a pasta maker from a thrift store. I probably paid 6 bucks for it.... going to try this, thanks!

That's such a good idea! Thanks for sharing!

Oh you totally could! You'll just have to make sure that you add enough "packing" material so that there's even pressure.
Your dry-point etching with pasta maker is "genial"--superb.
1. Brand name of your pasta maker.
Thanks.
(I just subscribed to your channel.)
Can you do colography with this ?

Only ones with an adjustable height
Harbor Freight Tool sells a set of 6 picks for less than $5

What is the hard with flower

Can you use a linoleum plate?
Such a fun project

Brilliant
I love this idea but the horrible scraping noises made it so hard to watch!
If you thought it felt uncomfortable to listen to, then you definitely shouldn't try this technique - it feels even worse! Eek!
Earplugs or headphones with music.
I keep so much "art stuff" ie garbage, that most people are sure im a hoarder.
