    Hi Casey, I hope you are using a power roller. Doing these types of
    designs with a hand roller is less than the results you might be
    looking for. What ever you put on top of your precious metals must be
    harder than the metal itself. Go to an electronics supply house and
    get different washers both flat and lock and if you have a special
    position for the design then use a clear spray to hold the
    impressionable material in place until it hits the rollers. the items
    will move or will stretch during compression. Experimentation always
    produces a different pattern. Good Luck and use extreme care with
    your roller ( assuming it is electric) you will need a clear head to
    do your work.
