With the advent of cheap, easy to purchase laser cutters, many more people are creating their own texture papers and vinyls.

Which is why, creating your own textures, allows you to fully express your visions. Although, some textures, are best left “as is”.
Combined with the usage of patinas, the beauty of your texture can be further enhanced. Texturing adds depth and interest to your work. Patterns can be etched, hammered, drilled, sanded, bur-ed, built-up and rolled into the metal. Almost anything can be used: gravel, sidewalks, leaves, fabric, hammers, paper, bits, etc. Texturing metal is a lot of fun and there are a ton of tools available, to create interesting patterns.
