in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua • •I've just tried a tiny sample, using a small steel nail as the stylus, without rounding it or anything. The back of the paper gets ugly, but the front is already pretty good.
I wonder how a wood tool would work
(I don't have a brass rod of that size at home. I know. this is bad.)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •The wood tool (a 6 mm dowel sharpened with a pencil sharpener and passed a few times with whatever sanding paper I had around) also works (but will probably require sanding and/or sharpening after being used a few times, I suspect)

The tool I've used and the results: a bone folder (I've used its back instead of the rounded end of the dowel), the small (~2 cm) steel nail, the tip of the wooden dowel described in the previous post, a square scrap of linoleoum with a simple line based logo carved on it and four square scraps of paper (~2.5 cm sides) that have been embossed with different levels of sharpness; on one of them the non-embossed area has been painted with watercolours.

(and then I'll try to do more, but this is something I've always low-key wanted to do)
