I’m recycling my old, unloved tabletop pasta machine into a mini printing press – I hope. Husb spent ages cleaning the rust off and getting the rollers to work smoothly again without creaking loudly. I bought a piece of felted wool to cut down into little blankets and I’m going to try using the machine to print small lino blocks and tiny drypoint etching plates. Something to do next week 🙂

Such a cool idea! Hope it works! If I tried to do something like that… well… something bad would happen… something with fires and dead things…
Hahahaha I’d love to see one of your cartoons about it lol 😁
I love it when kitchen stuff becomes art stuff
I hope it works! I have seen people doing it on YouTube. Fingers crossed
What a fantastic “upcycling” idea! I look forward to seeing what it produces now. 🙂
Fingers crossed. can’t do much until Thursday but should hopefully know by the weekend.
What a great idea!!! I’m so curious to see what the prints will look like. Have a lovely summer’s day.
Sending sunshine your way 😀
Can’t wait to see hoe it works out. I’m just wondering how much pressure the press could take?
I’ll find out soon. I’m going to use paper drypoint plated
Great idea
I was given a pasta machine for Christmas. Who has time?
That’s why ours ended up rusty and unloved. Husb made flavoured pasta a couple of times but it was so much effort.
Looking forward to seeing how it works! That would solve my tired hand issues!
Hopefully it’ll work with lino. Don’t think it will with wood because it needs to be flexible to come out of the bottom. I have high hopes for the paper drypoint plates. Lots of people online are using it for collagraph.
